Gold Nuggets are rare.

Even in the areas that are known for them, like in the Golden Triangle in Central Victoria, you are far more likely to find fine flakes over chunks.

It's with that in mind that I bring you the Nugget Rush paydirt!

I have sourced chunky gold from all over Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, NSW and WA. All have distinct colouring and shapes based upon the geology and method of finding.

Smooth nuggets were found panning, sniping and sluicing in Alluvial streams, whilst the pieces with shape and host rock were found detecting near hard rock mines and old river beds.

Each bag contains a minimum of 1.5 grams of gold, of which a large percentage is made of chunky little nuggets and pickers. This lot of gold nuggets is from the Beechwort goldfeilds in NE Vic, whilst the majority of the fine gold is from Reedy Creek Victoria. 

These nuggets were found using a metal detector in a dry creek bed.

The paydirt itself is made from the notorious Reedy Creek tin ore, cassiterite. Just so you have to work at getting the fine gold out of the dirt. It can't all be easy. 

There is a premium on the price of these bags simply due to the difficulty in finding large chunky gold in quantities and the level of insurance on each bag.

All of the chunks should be detectable by a GM1000, GB2, GPX6000 etc. Ranging from 0.10g to 0.50g

Price will change accordingly with spot price of gold.

Nugget rush paydirt

As advertised. A little underweight (0.08 grams out of 1.5) but still have a few spoonfuls of cons to pan again.
This was a challenge- Chris is right when he says the black sands in his area are heavy- take my word for it- they’re fucking heavy….
Excellent value if you can’t make it to the creek- and also an excellent practice tool to make sure you’re catching and keeping that sweet sweet yellow in the pan.
Thanks Chris- love your work,.,

Bonus in the Nuggies

Found a couple of small nuggets, usual flakes and flour in amongst the black sand.
I also found a bonus Fern hair in the bag. It is amazing how white boxer hairs find their way into everything, speaking from experience of owning one for many years.
Great product, well done Chris.

Gold of all sizes, and high degree of difficulty without being impossible. Can't wait to buy again

Happy panning

It doesn’t matter if you include ’nuggets’ its still Reedy creek pay dirt, the black sand (tin) makes the rest of the gold a killer to clean but I still got 1.56gms (a little more than guaranteed) and I still have to go through it again for anything I might have missed. Overall I’m very happy to have a couple of nuggets and to know that I have the patience and skill to clean Reedy creek cons. Hope to see you on the creek soon
