Very nice......if only we had something like that in our backyards!
 
I seems a little questionable to me.
Why would you release a video of this sort of result?
Is this outfit using the it to advertise for paying metal detecting customers?
I noticed there was no result shown of the fine gold content which should make up the vast majority of the gold dished in a sample such as this.
If they are advertising for detector operators in what seems to be virgin ground of such richness my immediate question is: "Why the bloody hell would you want people to take your gold away before you worked it?"

Also how deep is the ground they are working? Was the 14oz piece found in natural wash or off the bottoms after excavating?

It pose far more questions than it answers.

So Dave, what is the story behind this?

Cheers.
 
I think the text explains how and what they are mining...and they may be promoting sales of their shares...but it is still one hell of a nice batch of gold...

Just thought it might be interesting. I agree, if I had found such a place, the last thing I would is advertise it. It may be from a mining operation in the Nolan creek area, where ever that is. :shrug:

Nolan creek is way up in Alaska, they are mining ancient river beds concealed under many feet of Permafrost-permanently frozen mud/rocks and mammoth bones-...they tunnel along the bedrock and try to work only the best paystreaks....as the did in the ancient rivers of Northern California which are under layers of volcanic formations, if I remember the geology...and you have similar situations to California down in Australia if I remember those facts correctly.
