Pete, I saw a picture of a similar one from Ballarat, 1897. Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
That's the closest I can come. Sorry.

Always a great feeling to get a 1g nugg. Well done.

First find

Got the itch now.

Saw a couple of people around.

Also some unfilled holes.

Only takes a few mins to back fill.

When I first looked at the medallion I thought it looked older than 1980

Quite a lot of gilt still on it

Very neat find .

Bigwave and I had a PERFECT day out in Moliagul.
I FINALLY saw the Welcome Stranger Monument after living in the area for over 2 years. We got to do some swinging and fed some March Flies to the ants.
Oh...I got a one gram dirty nuggy too.

Pat and I had a big/tough hill climb up a ridge-line off Mt Moliagul. Jeep was sliding and bottoming out. Pat put his coil down and found that within 5 mins I reckon - his face was beaming.
After that we just found junk. Plenty of old diggings, but none new. Very exciting but no gold for me today.

Nice one Patrick.... t'was a great day out there in terms of weather - looking forward to heading up there again.

After seeing you guys cleaning up down south, it started me thinking. The shakes soon started followed by uncontrollable sweating. Only one thing for it - go out for a swing to keep the disease under control. Happy to come back with a nice little nug. Im having a lot of fun playing with the SDC. Its been tops for getting into the tight corners that the bigger coils struggle with.

Cheers for now

Les

Patrik we stopped for lunch at the monument a couple of years back and pulled a few nuggets out right there within a stones throw of the monument.
