Just over six pennyweights - 6 dwt 23 grains, about a third of an ounce, a lump the size of a pea. He took the rock, with a bit of yellow on it, to the farm owner John Muller, who thought a bullet had struck it; Muller showed it to Piet du Plessis of Zeekoegat, who knew it for gold.

- Geen geboortedatum is aangeteken nie.
- Geen sterfdatum is aangeteken nie.
- Nie een ouer is aangeteken nie, dus hang hierdie mens nie aan die boom bo hom of haar nie.
- Geen gedateerde rekord bind hierdie mens aan 'n bepaalde stuk grond nie.
A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.

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.
