Not sure how much this made the UK news:

One of the more interesting things about Australia (to me!) is how readily one may find virginal, unbroken ground. With, of course, the things that lay beneath its surface. I've never found a scrap of precious material; not possessing the patience to fossick for days with nil result.
As a side note, the metal detector used retails at almost £4500. :eek: The "windfall gain" of a licensed prospector finding a nugget is also untaxed!
