2. Who found the first gold nugget? Gold was first discovered in South Australia. The 12 ounce nugget was dug up by J. Richard in 1846, little notice was taken at the time. In 1851 the state Government offered a reward of $1,000 for a payable gold discovery. William Chapman put his hand up for this money when he discovered gold in 1852. The next major discovery was made by Thomas Brady and Thomas Smith at Teetulpa mines in 1852. More than 20,000 South Australian men left South Australia to seek their fortunes in Victoria and New South Wales. Women and children were left behind to fend for themselves.

7. What years where the major discoveries of gold. Early gold discoveries in Australia were kept a secret as many feared a gold rush would erupt the largely convict population into chaos and lawlessness. Although the rush to California depleted the new colonies small population and forced the authorities to think differently about Australian gold. Gold is found in rocks and in the ground. People came to look for gold in Australia. It was called the Gold Rush. It was a hard life digging for gold. Some people became rich but lots did not.

8. How to find gold the simplest way to find gold is to pan for it, in a shallow metal dish that has a wide edge to it, though any bowl can be used in a pinch. First, blacken your dish so the gold will shine against it. place your dish above a fire or in an oven and heat it until it darkens, don't let the smoke blacken it. Soot makes the gold flakes greasy and when you put water in it later the greasy flakes will float and you will lose your gold.
