I am old enough at 57 to remember the Hand of Faith being discovered in the 1980’s. Dad in the 1980’s used to take use metal detecting all over central Victoria.

Plenty of large finds were never reported especially if found by the Chinese. Records were shady from 1850s to 1930s but a lot of larger finds happened. I know of at least 2 that were 100 ounce finds in south Ballarat.
