AWESOME!!!!! Congratulations. Just goes to show that If you put the time in, you will get results.
Amazing it was sunbaking too (under water). I bet that made the detector scream...and did you initially think trash until you saw it?

Obviously I'm not going to ask where you found it. But I'm always curious how far off the beaten track people are finding nuggets. If you don't mind sharing - was yours a bit of a mission to get to, or fairly easy going?
