Just got a feed via facebook that a lucky prospector came across an 87 ounce nugget around Inglewood/Kingower.
Well done to the lucky bloke, Word is that it was only half a foot deep. Let the rush begin.

That area is well known for producing massive nuggets. I went up around that spot one day with a hired gpx5000 the reefs are awesome but so are the lead shot
