NOTES ON NUGGETS.
Gold is known as a royal metal ; it is also a rare metal, because, although widely
distributed, it is generally found in small quantities and in fine grains. Occasionally
larger lumps or nuggets occur, and these have always created more interest than
equal amounts of gold in a more divided form. Victoria has not only proved itself a
land unusually rich in gold, but nuggets have been more lavishly distributed in this
State than elsewhere, and in sizes that have never been exceeded.
In the early digging days the discovery of nuggets exercised a greater fascination
than the wonderful yields of finer gold, and many a langillshing rush has been rejuvenated
by the finding of a nugget.
Owing to the conditions of life on the early gold-fields, it was more prudent to
conceal the discovery of a large lump of gold than to publish it, and, in consequence, the
records of nuggets are very incomplete, and it may safely be assumed that less than half
of those found were recorded. Many nuggets were found by Chinamen, and accounts
of these were rarely preserved. An occasional lump of gold chopped off a large
mass was sold to gold-buyers, but details were seldom divulged. No systematic records
were kept even of those that were made known, and hitherto there has been no complete
list.
A list has been compiled from several different sources, and every endeavour has
been made to bring together the essential data concerning all the nuggets that have
been recorded and to eliminate such as are doubtful or that have been duplicated. The
"Nugget Book" referred to in this list is a manuscript record that has been kept by the
Mines Department. As regards the weights, they are in many cases approximate only,
for they were frequently weighed in pounds avoirdupois in the early digging days. "Gross
weight'' refers to the total weight of gold, quartz, ironstone, and perhaps clay which
together formed the nugget when discovered. "Net weight" is the total weight of the
gold in the nugget. "Estimated weight" means the amount of gold assumed to be present
after the gross weight has been determined, but before the gold was separated from the
other constituents of the nugget. Both alluvial and quartz reef nuggets are dealt with.
It is intended later on to publish a map showing the distribution of nuggets within the
State, and plates of all the models. The bulk of the work in compiling the list has
fallen on Mr. A. E. Smith.
Formerly an impression prevailed that alluvial nuggets resulted from the aggrega-
tion of gold while in the gravels, and that an originally small piece might increase in size
and ultimately become a nugget. Such a theory is not borne out by an examination
of the surfaces of alluvial nuggets, which invariably show much scratching and rounding,
and the common occurrence of angular quartz with the gold does not favour such a
view. Still further evidence against such a theory is the frequent discovery of very
large masses of gold in quartz reefs, as at Ballarat and elsewhere. That all the large
masses have not yet been found was proved a few years back, when a fine group of
nuggets was obtained at Poseidon. Doubtless still more remain to be unearthed.
Many nuggets are thoroughly rounded by the action of water; others are water-worn
on one side only.

One of the prominent features about nuggets is that they are far more abundant
in "indicator" country than elsewhere, such as the area between Ballarat on the south,
Wedderburn on the north, Tarnagulla on the east, and Ararat on the west. Within
this tract nearly all the nuggets have been obtained.
l\fr. George Foord, chemist and assayer, demonstrated in the early sixties that
in any nugget there was very little difference in the fineness of the gold in one part from
chat in another; but even if there were differences it would not be very remarkable,
seeing that it is sometimes the case that in the same piece of quartz there are two distinct
qualities of gold.
It is remarkable that some very heavy nuggets were found not resting on bedrock
but sometimes several feet above it in the gravel. Such was the case with the Viscount
Canterbury nugget, found at Rheola, as the famous Berlin rush is now named. On
this field the gold was so coarse that washing the gravel was not resorted to. The top
material-drift, gravel, clay, &c.-was stripped for 10 or 12 feet to the wash-dirt, and
this latter was turned over with a long-handled shovel and thrown back. If there was
any gold present it was either seen in the gravel or felt on the shovel. Large nuggets
have been found lying on the surface of the rocks, as in the case of those found below
the Matrix Reef, Mcintyre's, which weighed 810 and 805 ozs. respectively. The largest
of all-the Welcome Stranger nugget--was only a few inches below the surface, and was
discovered in a rut cut by a dray wheel.
Although a large mass of gold would offer great resistance to running water when
alone, on account of its high specific gravity, if associated with a considerable block of
quartz the specific gravity of the whole would be greatly reduced, and then the two masses
together might easily be conveyed long distances.
Nuggets were transported by the aborigines. No doubt the colour and lustre
attracted their attention, but the great weight probably prevented them from carrying
nuggets for very great distances. At Watchem a 40-oz. nugget was found at one of
their myrniongs, or camping places. Between Mt. Tarrengower and the Loddon another
nugget was found that was probably transported by the blacks. Many other nuggets
have been found in such situations as to suggest that they had been brought there
by human agency. Small nuggets have been found in Mallee hens' nests.
Quite commonly nuggets contain pieces of quartz or they are sometimes embedded
in quartz; where in contact with the gold the quartz is always angular and just such
as occurs in reefs, and not rounded and water-worn as would be the case if the gold had
accumulated while in the alluvial deposits. Limonite frequently occurs associated with
the gold of nuggets, sometimes with, at other times without, quartz. The limonite has
resulted from the oxidation of iron pyrites that existed originally in the lode.
In the case of the Welcome Stranger nugget, the largest found in this State,
there was 68 lbs. of quartz associated with the gold. A small sample of this quartz,
shewn by Mr. Deason to the writer, was of a grey colour, and similar to what occurs in
the Matrix Reef associated with the nuggets and rich patches along the intersection of
the indicator and quartz veins.
5
There is a tragic side to nuggets also, for in the early digging days the sudden
acquisition of more or less wealth in the form of a nugget often caused the mind of the
finder to become unhinged. Crimes were also committed to obtain possession of nuggets.
