[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 639659, member: 3960"] We joined a prospecting group on a week long field trip. At that time we never knew what a gold nugget looked like but with a little guidance from a few like minded people we found our first 0.8g piece of gold. It was under a layer of calcrete so we worked for it too. An hour or so later we dug a huge hole for a coke can that had been dragged down a rabbit burrow. I was sure it was gold because we had to chip our way through rock to get to it. The following week after the group left for home we dug our second, a 35g nugget at about 400mm down. [ATTACH type="full"]642[/ATTACH] My first thought was "This is easy" so we left in the morning and headed for a new spot. On the way we met a couple and showed off our finds. They said "Where did you find that? You never leave a spot like that". So we turned around and headed right back and pulled a 6g piece out within a metre of the big one. It took us several years to find another as big as our second ever nugget. [/QUOTE]
