A French farmer discovers a gold deposit worth 4 billion euros, but the state claims it and leaves him with nothing

Well that sucks…

Why would you disclose it?
I’m sure that the over 2oz nugget recently offered on here, wasn’t the only large nugget that has been found recently. Heard of a absolute whopper being found by a tourist with a detector, from a reliable witness think the real amount of gold being found is never disclosed.

I agree. I’ve been privy to some really big finds lately that haven’t popped up anywhere publicly or online. It’s very encouraging to know that there’s still big bits out there to find :slight_smile:

Iv just been and seen a mate thismorning whos detecting buddy just last weekend scraped out a nugget the size of a pack of winfields detecting on the coast.
Its currently getting cleaned and i get to meet it tonight.

His 2nd ever mission out, using a 6000. Crazy luck.

I wonder if someone might have detected it before and walked away because it screamed like a huge junk signal… I’m sure I’ve been guilty of this in the past.

Personally I would hate to find a really big nugget … I mean you’d have to retire early … get yourself a trophy wife (my present wife would be pissed) … the stress of picking out a expensive car and holiday home, which country to travel to …and would I really be happy? … no I’m just gonna stick to flour gold thanks :rofl: ! …lol!
