Gold and Tungsten specimen, however not my first, heaviest, or most unexpected but it is still my favourite.

I can't match Dave's



This is how it came out of the ground. Just on 4 oz and pretty much solid gold. Found with the GPX4500 and 14" Coiltek Elite coil in a really noisy patch of soil.

My best-ever find - 220 gram (7 ounces) gold weight, determined by specific gravity test. From a 21 nugget, 575 gram Golden Triangle patch, back in the 80's. 10" deep, found with a Garrett A2B Groundhog 15kHz VLF.

It's not a completion Phil, just want to see favorite or biggest gold! That's a ripper, I still love that specie you found with the white quarts and smooth gold.

Some of the mud washed off, 300+ specie


Cleaned up, named Octopus



This happened as I was hightailing it out of there, due to warning of road closure from heavy rain. (Went back years later and after two day search of area we had over 2ozs in the jar.

Haven't had much opportunity to get out and find any other the last few years, working on changing that, biggest is just over 2gm.

Nightjar the Octopus is one of my favourites along with the story behind it. Just a beautiful specimen once again thanks for sharing

Dave, does it have to be a prospecting find in bush, or does include beach or underwater gold finds?

Anything mate, just your favorite thing you have found, while prospecting/fossicking!
