This image is what all prospectors hope for - but for most this is just a dream. Some fortunate few prospectors do strike lucky and our video shows some nice large nuggets being found..

Matt is a professional gold prospector with over 35 years experience in Western Australia. In this short video he describes his recent experience of using the Garrett ATX and shows you some of the large gold nuggets he has found in the period of just a few days in 2014.

The nugget in the thumbnail is a cast of the 'Golden Eagle' nugget which was discovered at Larkinville, WA in 1931 and weighed 1135oz. With modern prospecting methods it's only a matter of time before another similar or even larger nugget is found.

Outstanding!!!... What you call 'small' pieces would be a find of a life time for me!!!...Continued good fortune to you.....

Awesome finds and great to see how the ATX works in the outback. I know most use the GPX's. At half the price of the GPX it may be the one I start with. Nuggets that size you should be getting a nice premium for them!!

To me, Australians sound so cool, and they seem like the bravest race of all.
