We spent another day out in the heat. We decided to peg this patch as it was on vacant crown land. Unfortunately there are some Native Title obstacles to deal with so I'll try to look into that tomorrow.
We stopped the quads as we were passing the same spot right on dark. I thought it was going to be a minute or two to grab a nugget for the first day of the year. This was my best effort and it took half an hour...

Nice way to finish of the year and begin 2024, Moneybox, Happy New Year

some older pictures and back then I didn’t post and not much time to read many posting. Spent a lot of time a hole the one that’s hard to leave at the end of day. you say to yourself I just get one more. A comparison dirty to clean gold ready to sell. for those who might not know that is Conglomerate gold A good indicator thats where the gold came from is the watermelon seed shape gold.some seeds are just bigger most.

Just spent 4 days in Vic around Maryborough area for some micro gold 
Happy with the finds, 1816 sixpence was a nice surprise, was a screaming signal in the base of a digging under the loose leaf litter, the signals you always walk away from
not even sure why i decided to dig it. In the back of my mind I though clean up Australia Day

Sounds like good motivation, not that I'm superstitious when it comes to luck finding gold

Took a Gold and Relics day tour at Creswick while I was in Vic for a holiday a few weeks ago now. Perfect weather for it, guide took us to a good location and I got to use a 6K for the first time. Working a surfaced area (away from the rest of the group) I managed these two tidbits after lunch. First detected gold for a total just over 0.1g. The sensitivity of the 6K was amazing. First piece was in a detector scrape so I felt like I was cheating a bit but the second larger one was all me and about 3-4in down in the lovely red clay with gravels through it.

Found a quartz specie on recent trip that resembled a map of Australia, unfortunately omitting Tasmania.
Marked in the state borders and photographed it, showing the attached gold.
See more details below:
No the Quartz did NOT contain gold, I super glued it. Don't be too hard on me!

Too much Bush Chook I reckon.

The pickings are a little slim this year in the Pilbara. There are hundreds of people camped out there all taking a bit so it gets harder to find a spot not too badly raided.
The gold isn't quite as bad as it looks. The dirty looking pieces are mostly solid with a little light weight stone attached but it's been the acid for the last week so I think it'll look better next time I see it. All small bits but a better average size than last year, perhaps due to the new GPX6000 being a much better detector than the first one. The detector performed very well.
There are 514 pieces for 175g the biggest 5.5g found on the way up.
Last year there were 800 pieces for 169g, the biggest 10g.

Slim? You call that "slim"???! 
Mate, you've done wonderfully well, I reckon. Good on you for rising to the challenge.

I did wear out a pair of boots
You can't be to disappointed with that lot Moneybox, , A new pair of boots won't make too big a dent in the proceeds.
Nice little wander around a local goldfield this morning…
