Miners Go Searching For Gold, End Up Digging Out Huge Gold Nugget

2. Oates Went to Britain and Then Back to Victoria

Oates moved to Britain where he married and then returned with his family to Marong, Victoria, where he bought some land. He had four children and passed away in 1906.

The nugget’s fate ended up in the Bank of England, after it was smelted into smaller bars and was sent to England on the Reigate.
