Royal Nickel's MAJOR GOLD DISCOVERY..WorldWide NEWS Now !!Try and hold a MAJOR , " Once in a Lifetime " Gold Discovery back .... bashers haven't graduated from Public School on this Stockhouse board ...lol
Specimens likely to fetch handsome price Mr Line said there had been a massive spike in the number of prospectors in recent years because of strong gold prices and the popularity of TV shows like Aussie Gold Hunters.
The Discovery Channel television production follows crews of gold-hungry prospectors as they set out to uncover a fortune on the WA Goldfields, with more than $1.3 million worth of gold unearthed in season three.
Mr Line anticipated the rare specimens from Beta Hunt would fetch a handsome price at auction.
"With these pieces, the actual gold content becomes a bit of an afterthought with the size of them," he said.
"The rarity of finding something this big, you can sort of bargain what you want for them.
"People will pay whatever they are willing to pay for them [and] it can often fetch much more than the gold price.
"They've been broadcasted so far, so there would be a lot of eyes watching them."
Excitement in area mounts
ASX-listed company Lefroy Exploration has found hundreds of gold nuggets over the past five years on its 600-square-kilometre land package, just 10km east of Beta Hunt.
Managing director and veteran geologist Wade Johnson said the Beta Hunt discovery had re-energised explorers in the area and excited potential investors.
