This was pretty cool to watch. I love how heavy it looks when they pull it out. You can't fake that stuff.
Well done.

Both to be expected - nothing strange in that. What amazes me more was that they had a professional camera operator at the exact time they found it. Nevertheless it looks fairly convincing.
If it takes a big excavator to do the digging, that takes the gloss off it for me, even if the finders' reactions aren't faked for the camera.
This one's a long watch in rock-hard ground, but well worth the wait, IMHO:

Yes that is what I thought - they had to find them, they exist. And good luck to them.They amuse me, the knockers who say the is a setup or it's faked in some way. I'm sure it doesn't matter to the guy standing with a mulit-ounce nugget in his hand
I don't know which of the many German Gullies it is - I worked at one in the 1980s at Yandoit. Had interesting old stone flues set in the ground immediately to the north.
It's the Dunolly German Gully.

The road and rail guys must have turned up some gold.
Some - eg the Bealiba nugget

As kids it was drummed into us that we did not walk or jump into any depression in ground as the sticks and leaves would collect and even have grass growing in them but was only a skin with a shaft below it. Lost quite a few cattle in them.
