Uh Oh! Turning One Nugget into Two!

A customer of ours recently shared an exciting discovery: a stunning 10.5g nugget! While digging, he accidentally struck it with his pick, resulting in the nugget splitting into two pieces. 

To maximise your chances of finding intact nuggets, we always recommend a careful approach. Digging around your target before applying your pick can help avoid unnecessary damage. Gently pulling the pick through the soil will  lessen the likelihood of harming the nugget.

If you come across a larger piece or a beautiful specimen, remember that any damage can significantly reduce its value. Taking the time to excavate carefully not only preserves the integrity of your find but also enhances its potential worth. Happy prospecting!
