The Age, Melbourne. 24th May 1897.
A 53 OZ NUGGET.
WEDDERBURN, Saturday.
Some sensation was caused here yesterday when it became known that two miners, Peter the Greek and Smye, had unearthed a large nugget in Nursery Gully, one of the first gullies worked in the early days, which has since been the source of income to many diggers. It has been stated that over £500 worth of gold has been taken out of the gully during the past two years.It appears the two men had put down a hole in old ground, and had gone only about 3 feet from the surface, when they came upon the nugget. It has been on view at the local bank of Australasia.
The Australian Women's Weekly, 15th April 1950.
REPORTER TURNS PROSPECTOR.
Wedderburn residents are blase about finds, but join in "just in case." Rangy Bill Drysdale, of Wedderburn, who said, "Cripes, how gold gets you- after mining all day, you even dream about it at night" told the story of how 40 years ago gold ended a life-long friendship between his grandfather Joe Smye and his bosom cobber Peter the Greek. Bill's grandfather and Peter worked shafts together for years.
Always on their return home Bill's grandmother would ask "Well, Peter, did you get any nuggets today?" Always he would shake his head, "Not today Mrs. Smye" and the family would settle down to domino and chess playing. One night after Peter and Joe had been mining all day, Peter, his eyes glistening with excitement, confounded everyone and dumbfounded his mate by slamming down a lovely nugget on the table in reply to Mrs. Smye's usual enquiry. Grandfather Smye was so staggered by his friend's ability to keep such a find secret all day that he refused to speak to him again. "Peter still played dominos' with my grandmother and aunts every night, but my grandfather just ignored him," Bill said, "Peter was broken-hearted, and died shortly afterwards."
