Best Answer

The very first discoveries of gold in Australia were actually at South Australia, but there was insufficient payable gold to warrant official notification. The first "official" discovery of gold in Australia was made in New South Wales, at the place now known as Ophir.

Gold was found in every single state in Australia during the goldrush years. (It was also found later in the Northern Territory, but not in the Australian Capital Territory.)
The Australian goldrush started in the state of New South Wales.

It depends solely on the piece- 800 could be 800/1000 silver or 800/1000 gold- If the piece is silver, it's likely an older European piece.. If the piece is gold it's likely French 19k gold (EXTREMELY uncommon, but still can be found today.)
