Tonight's story starts with a nugget pulled out of ordinary looking red dirt outside Kalgoorlie in 1979, a find that turned out to be the biggest since 1931. The ground under your own boots might be hiding more than you think, and you would never know it just by looking.

Ken Nugget Halloran has worked the same patch of dry country outside Kalgoorlie, Western Australia for fifty two years, first with his father's dry blower and now with a beat up metal detector. In this first video, he walks through the real geology behind why unglamorous ordinary ground, red dirt, old creek beds, even termite mounds, can hide real gold, using the real 1979 Golden Beauty nugget find, the real geology under Kalgoorlie's Golden Mile, and a real published CSIRO study on gold turning up in termite and ant mounds across the WA goldfields.
