Plenty of large finds were never reported especially if found by the Chinese. Records were shady from 1850s to 1930s but a lot of larger finds happened. I know of at least 2 that were 100 ounce finds in south Ballarat.
@@goldfieldsguide yes it is mind blowing. Legend goes that the Chinese used to sit on their large finds and when they needed money they would chop off some gold with a axe from a large nugget.
I am old enough at 57 to remember the Hand of Faith being discovered in the 1980’s. Dad in the 1980’s used to take use metal detecting all over central Victoria.
