Awesome and inspirational Australian Gold Nugget prospecting video.
This has to be one of the best gold prospecting videos that I’ve seen. Not only is it well put together but it’s also instructional and informative for anyone considering hunting for gold nuggets with a metal detector. (more…)
I did it, I actually did it! You won’t believe this find! I recently uncovered a once in a lifetime Gold Nugget in the Australian bush.
