1
00:00:04,448 --> 00:00:06,807
This is the year nineteen hundred and two
2
00:00:06,807 --> 00:00:09,476
When a miner named Richard Oates
3
00:00:09,476 --> 00:00:16,223
He was dying alone in a shelter near Moliagul, Victoria, Australia
4
00:00:16,223 --> 00:00:19,085
he was alone
5
00:00:19,085 --> 00:00:23,366
no friends and family member near him
6
00:00:24,792 --> 00:00:30,000
He was breathing his last breath and thinking, is he the man
7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,518
Who discovered the world's largest piece of gold?
8
00:00:53,121 --> 00:00:59,387
Today we will tell you about the discovery of the world's largest gold piece
9
00:00:59,387 --> 00:01:03,441
The discovery of which created such a record in the history of mining
10
00:01:03,441 --> 00:01:06,406
Which no one has been able to break till date
11
00:01:06,406 --> 00:01:11,399
His discovery took the whole world by surprise
12
00:01:11,399 --> 00:01:14,383
How much did this gold piece weigh?
13
00:01:14,383 --> 00:01:15,615
When did you get it?
14
00:01:15,615 --> 00:01:17,007
How did it get?
15
00:01:17,007 --> 00:01:19,068
And what people found
16
00:01:19,068 --> 00:01:23,204
And what happened to them later
17
00:01:23,204 --> 00:01:26,652
We will know all this today in our video
18
00:01:26,652 --> 00:01:33,435
This was 155 year ago in south Australia, Victoria
19
00:01:33,435 --> 00:01:37,421
There was a small town called Moliagul,
20
00:01:37,421 --> 00:01:42,821
the moliagul is 198 km away from Melbourne
21
00:01:42,821 --> 00:01:46,819
and was known for prospecting for gold
22
00:01:46,819 --> 00:01:52,759
February 5 1869, winter was almost over
23
00:01:52,759 --> 00:01:55,740
The Weather Was dry
24
00:01:55,740 --> 00:02:00,269
And laborers were digging in different places in search of gold
25
00:02:02,306 --> 00:02:09,577
A workman named John Deason was climbing down the hillside to dig a gold mine.
26
00:02:10,256 --> 00:02:15,000
His foot hit something hard and he fell
27
00:02:16,358 --> 00:02:25,600
With them behind, Richard realizes that the object Mr John has tripped over is probably a piece of iron.
28
00:02:26,890 --> 00:02:33,902
But on closer inspection, he realized that it was something very bright
29
00:02:33,902 --> 00:02:39,483
Both have tried to pull it out together
30
00:02:39,483 --> 00:02:46,668
Both knew that what they were trying to extract was a piece of gold
31
00:02:46,668 --> 00:02:53,996
But they both did not know that they were trying to extract the world's largest piece of gold from the ground
32
00:02:53,996 --> 00:03:01,400
After a lot of effort, the piece came to him completely
33
00:03:02,418 --> 00:03:06,007
Then everyone was very surprised
34
00:03:06,007 --> 00:03:10,220
This piece of gold was so big that three to four people together lifted it
35
00:03:10,220 --> 00:03:17,900
Now both of them knew that they had a huge treasure in their hands
36
00:03:18,239 --> 00:03:20,424
But stay
37
00:03:20,424 --> 00:03:24,014
Mountains of surprises are yet to be broken
38
00:03:25,915 --> 00:03:31,437
Both of them reached the Bank of Victoria with the gold piece to sell
39
00:03:31,437 --> 00:03:37,248
The problem there was that the bank did not have a weighing machine big enough to weigh it
40
00:03:37,248 --> 00:03:45,154
It was decided to cut the gold piece into three parts and weigh it
41
00:03:45,154 --> 00:03:53,562
When it was weighed, it was found to be the world's largest gold piece ever discovered
42
00:03:53,562 --> 00:03:56,549
Its weight is 72 kg
43
00:03:56,549 --> 00:04:10,264
Ladies and gentlemen, at that time, in 1869, this gold piece was sold to the Bank of Victoria for £9,500.
44
00:04:10,264 --> 00:04:13,962
and both divide money half
45
00:04:13,962 --> 00:04:20,244
The gold piece was then put on display for several months
46
00:04:20,244 --> 00:04:24,674
people come to see the gold nugget
47
00:04:25,692 --> 00:04:29,520
they keep the name of this gold nugget is Welcome Strange
48
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:39,023
after few month bank of Victoria sold this gold nugget to the British company
49
00:04:39,023 --> 00:04:47,169
flyn and co at 10500 british pound and transported to the England
50
00:04:47,169 --> 00:04:53,161
There it was once exhibited in Crystal Palace London
51
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:57,445
then they sold to the gold dealers
52
00:04:57,445 --> 00:05:02,399
These dealers melted down this rare piece of gold and used it in jewellery
53
00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:10,904
Both miners were from Britain who discovered this gold nugget
54
00:05:10,904 --> 00:05:13,464
It is important to know who these people were
55
00:05:13,464 --> 00:05:18,463
John Deason is an experienced miner who has been in the mining industry for a long time
56
00:05:18,463 --> 00:05:23,381
But Richard Oates was totally new into mining
57
00:05:23,381 --> 00:05:30,160
Interestingly, the two miners met each other by chance before finding the gold nugget
58
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:39,650
They decided to work together, but they often quarreled with each other over small matters.
59
00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:46,481
Perhaps it was for this reason, that the two never worked together after the sale of Welcome Strange
60
00:05:47,092 --> 00:05:51,992
John Deason continued to work in the mining industry after selling the gold
61
00:05:52,739 --> 00:05:55,423
and leased various gold mines
62
00:05:55,423 --> 00:05:59,233
after that he got retirement from this field
63
00:05:59,233 --> 00:06:03,992
and move to the Melbourne and invest his money in property and taking interest in politics
64
00:06:03,992 --> 00:06:07,613
then he died in 1915
65
00:06:08,903 --> 00:06:15,201
While Richard's fate was more painful
66
00:06:15,201 --> 00:06:17,964
He also invested the proceeds in various mining ventures
67
00:06:17,964 --> 00:06:23,316
But because he was a newcomer in the Gold field
68
00:06:23,316 --> 00:06:29,484
Therefore, most of his projects failed due to lack of experience
69
00:06:30,978 --> 00:06:36,150
he became Bank corrupt, He almost lost his fortune after a serious bank corrupt.
70
00:06:36,150 --> 00:06:41,104
Eventually he decided to go back to working as a laborer in other mines
71
00:06:41,104 --> 00:06:45,355
But still he was constantly worried
72
00:06:45,355 --> 00:06:54,205
And finally died in a Shelter in the same area of Moliagul
73
00:06:54,205 --> 00:07:02,070
That nugget is undoubtedly the largest gold nugget discovery of the Welcome Strange to date
74
00:07:02,070 --> 00:07:09,785
This gold piece weighing 72 kg is still exhibited in various exhibitions
75
00:07:09,785 --> 00:07:14,099
But it is not original, it is duplicate
76
00:07:14,099 --> 00:07:22,081
Because the original Welcome Strange was cut in three on the very first day at weigh-in
77
00:07:22,081 --> 00:07:26,062
But this is a record that no one has been able to break till date
78
00:07:26,062 --> 00:07:34,235
Undoubtedly, the credit for the discovery of this large gold piece goes to these two mines John Deason and Richard Oates.
