lol.... you got me going there. I was thinking you must be in South Africa, or Western Australia... I don't think many nuggets that size have been found in NZ of late.

1.6 gram nugget is still pretty good. Do you mean by the Howard... Howards Hole?? Crikey, I'd hate to clamber down there for my gold.
