Pic sent to me from a good friend, very scant on detail but supposedly found in the Kalgoorlie area around twelve months ago (not by him). It looks real to me. No idea on the weight, depth etc.
Check this out!

The Lord Mayor of Kalgoorlie, in an interview once a few years ago, said, he'd seen 'nuggets' the size of basketballs.
This photo confirms those comments.

The left hand does look a little dodgy? Spot on K man about shadow angles? And where is the shadow from the cord next to his RH?

I'll go with the Lord Mayor's experience.
This is the source of that pic: http://golddetecting.4umer.net/t195...great-9-5-days-426-pieces-of-gold-found#17972
I can say that image is not photoshopped. I am the Photoshop king. The unusual angle of shadow is from the sun being almost directly overhead. Believe me, its a nugget.
I've seen a photo of a nugget the size of an open hand ( sold for $600,000 ) found 2 meters up inside a tree trunk...go figure.

I can't believe a nugget was found in a tree! I got a whopping signal a few weeks ago which I thought was a nice deep nugget. But as I dug deeper it got quieter. I realised it was about a foot up the trunk of a tree. I just put it down to a bullet being lodged in the trunk....... I'm heading straight back out there to investigate.

It's In the trees, tree roots and eventually firewood.

Hey Mate
Be aware that the GPZ7000 just loves to give a great signal on some tree roots!!! they sound great, but when you take notice it really is just the root, Hope I am wrong for you. I have dug a few!!!! try test it with another detector.
cheers

I got a decent signal from inside the base of an old stump the other day in the field. It looked to be a tree that wasn't removed during the rush. Interestingly the signal came from just below the soil level and I had nothing to cut the stump with. I just assumed it was more than likely a nail or something however possibly not as it was below the soil line. Maybe I'll have to go back with the chainsaw
Try to keep the 100+ year old trees standing aye.. not worth droppin one for 2 grams
