A “GOLDEN EGG”
NUGGET FOUND IN DUCK While preparing a duck for the table, Mrs. L. Dennis, Whangarei, found a small nugget of gold in the bird. The nugget was noticed by Mrs. Dennis shining among the small pebbles in the gizzard. The duck had been fed by her for some months, but had come originally from the Poroti district. Some years ago gold was found in a duck at Waimamaku, and on an investigation being made surface gold was found where the bird had been feeding. This led to considerable prospecting in the area, but although small quantities of gold were recovered no large find was made, and prospecting was discontinued.
