Minor point - rocks Ordovician not Silurian and more than twice that age (so what's in a few hundred million years?):) I think it was not in the lead but on the hillside.... Best reference for more detail:

Potter, Terry F. (1999) The Welcome Stranger: a definitive account of the worlds largest alluvial gold nugget. ISBN 0-646-38709-X

Fantastic presentation! :Y: :power: I applaud such a fine effort, and I believe this is exactly the sort of information that is hard to ignore, especially in the format you've delivered it in. Certainly resonates much more deeply in spoken word than written submission.

You've inspired me to go out (including presenting with others) and do something similar over the next few months.
