Victoria Diggers Find The BIGGEST Nugget Ever | Aussie Gold Hunters: Countdown to the Motherload

In the southeastern corner of Australia are the remains of one of the greatest

gold

diggers

in history. The Golden Triangle region of the state of Victoria, this 1.9 kilometer stretch of historic mining pits known as German Gully was once part of the epicenter of the great Gold Rush. 160 years later, it is owned by the Victorian

diggers

, so now you own this land. It has been a dream for me. It's the only thing I've heard of for over 20 years because of the history it has had if you were to mine anywhere. Victoria, this would be the place where detectorist Neville Perry, 52, and his partner, specialist machine operator, Mick Clark, are hunting for the huge

nugget

s, this area is famous so we are very excited given the story of where we are, it's just a matter of time.

Before that big

nugget

arrives, with only one week left in season four, the duo still needed almost 15 ounces to reach the goal, but they only had 50 meters of authorized ground to dig, we don't have much ground left and we need to get that aim. I need to reach that goal oh hello, what do we have here? This is huge, man, you have to come with sacred sounds like I'm a little down. I want to hear it, this might be the best nugget we've found so far, honestly, and it is. Naturally, I just have to get behind him, buddy, I don't want to squeeze him.

Come on, this might be the

biggest

chunk of

gold

we've found here. Mick, where is he? He's still there. Continue like you said, you have to get behind it. Yes, jeez, it's tight, it's mate, they haven't dug. This could be the one. Don't hit it easily. He leaves, he comes. I think I really felt it at the end of the selection, really, yeah, so yeah. honors friend, where does it come from? It sounds good it's over the moment you'll feel it stops bothering me that can't be it where does it come from? it's here there it's like that, oh, I'll take a look at it, buddy, that's an absolute slug that must weigh half a kilo, that's just beautiful, the 20 ounce nugget is worth at least forty thousand dollars to wealthy collectors who appreciate nuggets. attractive in its original form Charlie Scully is a much bigger asset coming out of the hills than Penzance was and it has the history, it has the history to say that there was some good gold that came down there, hopefully we can get something like this region and the area is known for, you know, big nuggets. anything in the multiple ounces would be good to see right now, yeah, that's a good noise, oh, it's got a noise, it's got a target, there's something old, it's all there, yeah, and there was one right here, yeah, that could be a bit rubbish. the great

victoria

n gold rush over 160 years ago thousands of shafts were dug sometimes within a meter of each other old miners might have been millimeters away from a monstrous nugget but without modern detectives they would n

ever

know I just hope it's not a bit of old miners trash or a pickaxe because in the old hallways there we probably won't be too sure it's been fooled before with, you know, pieces of bucket handles, that bottom seems pretty firm if it's a nugget, I just don't want Hit it, so I'm thinking it's still there.

Do you want me to have a chance? Try it, friend. You can see it's coming off in layers. What that means to us is that the old miners haven't been there, so we are. Now I'm getting really excited, it's virgin land so it's going to be gold, what

ever

it is, if it's still there, overseas, that's starting to make sense. She is hard. Grandma, right? Club, she's starting to move some dirt a little faster. a little urgency in his pace, he's so far away, well the anticipation, oh man, I just saw him, he's gone, look at that mate, look holy, look at that, you can only see the top, you can only see the top . that's what the 10 is here just take it out just take it out it's absolutely gold she's moving good guys he could be this big okay I'm lying oh look at that that's Jesus that's what we're here for buddy.

Charlie's Gully take a look that's fucking Jesus Christ that's huge that's absolutely incredible that's gotta weigh three kilos that's incredible just oh oh look at that get over it take a look 200,000 nuggets that's totally amazing just can't I'm not over it, the old man who dug this hole by coming here missed it by two feet. I feel privileged to unearth this. It's just amazing. We are making history. This is the

biggest

piece we are doing. History cannot overcome this. Feeling that it is the largest nugget ever captured on film, just under five pounds, the 78-ounce nugget nicknamed Charlie's Pride is worth much more and is sold intact as a collector's item, which is incredible if melted down in a bar is worth one hundred and thirty. a thousand dollars yes, that's true, but you're never going to do that, no, because it has the three key things that collectors look for, it has the purity, look at the color, yes, it has the character and look at the size, yes, I am.

I'm still pretty sure it's a two hundred thousand dollar nugget. I'm all for it if we can dig them up as we get closer to the main road where all the big gold was. What's here? What's here? The million dollar nugget, here we go, that's beautiful.
