Great reading thanks for sharing that SC75 gives a great insight on places it still amazes me how deep they went in places by hand what back breaking work it must have been.

The old timers were tough as mate and its got me stuffed that the 2nd biggest nugget discovered didn't have a name to it?
I hope someone finds the big one and post it on PA
