A nice find by DIDO's in the Pilbara

Hi, just thought I'd like to share a pic of a 22oz nugget that was found a few years ago by an older couple in the Pilbara. I wasn't into gold then. We met them when we came in from fishing on a boat at Balla Balla creek. They hadn't caught any fish so we gave them some of ours. They said they come over every year to prospect from the Eastern states and were usually able to pay for their trip with what they found. The bloke went to his camper trailer and pulled out this beauty they had just found. Our reward was a 'viewing' of their nugget, which is in my friend's hand.....you should have seen everyone dive for their cameras!

Now that's one fabulous looking specimen Suz.Thank you for sharing it with us.

Cheers kon61.

Hi to Kiwi and Speci - yes, the bracelet (and hand) belongs to a friend of mine from Hedland. Hope you guys are both finding some of the good stuff...

Always appreciate pics like that. It keeps the dream alive
