💥 GOLD RUSH! Family Hits $8,000 Honey Hole in One Day
Ironstone spine leads bush team to rich nugget run: “15 targets in one hole”
A local prospecting family has struck serious gold in the bush, unearthing over 86 grams in a single day after discovering what they call a “honey hole” — a densely packed gold-bearing pocket that had their detectors screaming.
The breakthrough came when the team’s dad spotted an ironstone spine cutting across a hillside. The group began tight chaining the area, methodically sweeping for signals in hopes of finding the gold’s source.
And find it they did.
“There were like 15 targets in one hole,” one of the prospectors exclaimed. “It just kept going — signal after signal.”
The team worked the run from top to bottom, with each member contributing to the pile:
-
Reese, working the top near the source, found 29.9 grams, mostly rough reef gold.
-
Dad, positioned lower on the slope, hit smoother, well-traveled nuggets including a 10.7g beauty.
-
The daughter, filming the action for social media, scored solid mid-sized pieces, including a 4.3g nugget.
Despite some playful banter over who got the best bits, the energy was electric.
“I know I sounded ungrateful,” she said with a laugh, “but I really wanted to find the biggest one this time!”
By day’s end, with shovels dull and batteries drained, the final tally came in:
86 grams of gold — easily worth over $8,000.
“We’ve found the run,” she said. “We’re right on the source, and we’re not done yet.”
