Navorsingsnotas
[SRC-068] Government geologist with Australian experience, sent by the Port Elizabeth firm Barry and Nephews. Examined the 1871 nugget and found it "bears conclusive evidence of having been in human possession prior to discovery".
These are working notes, not finished prose: they carry the reasoning, the corrections and the things still marked to verify. They are kept here so the page itself can read as what is known.
Die werksnotas op hierdie werf word in Engels gehou en word nie vertaal nie. Hulle verander met elke navorsingsessie, en 'n vertaling sou uit pas raak met die oorspronklike. Alles anders — die stories, die getranskribeerde dokumente en die koppelvlak — is in Afrikaans.
