Friendly Competition Unearths Gold Nugget
02/21/16
<p><strong>The second time I had ever gone out metal detecting with my dad, we were with his mate Chris, dad and Chris always are very competitive towards each other.</strong> So of course it was on to find the biggest nugget.</p>

<p>Dad, Chris and I were in a small block of land for about 2 hours when it started lightly raining. It wasn’t that much that we had to pack up, but just enough to moisten the ground.</p>
<p>After about 7-10 minutes of this rain, dad and I started back tracking when we heard a strange but familiar sound. We dug it up, chasing the sound around for about 10 minutes.</p>
<p>After we finally pinpointed, it took one last heave of the pick and I picked it up. it seemed to me to be copper because of its odd color, but it had some weight to it, I gave it to dad who decided to be an idiot and bit it open.</p>
<p>We still could not tell what it was so I ran it to Chris, the moment I gave it to him I heard some words that I cannot repeat on a public forum. I asked him what he was on about, he looked at me with a frown.</p>
