Didn't find any more nuggets, but found a couple pickers and a shotgun pellet! 0.39g of fine stuff and the nugget is 0.75g. Not a bad trip, I'll definitely go back sometime!

First day camping at Creswick and found my very first gold nugget panning! Just a question though, do nuggets tend to cluster close together? I'll be going back to that spot and don't want to get my hopes up too much haha

Thanks for the ID, makes me wonder just what they would be shooting with this stuff.

Yep, not ferrous though.

Found this odd-looking thing while gold detecting in Whipstick. Has a grey outer shell and copper-coloured insides-can anyone help ID?

I was inspired by this video to build my own bathyscope for prospecting. It was surprisingly easy to cut the plexiglass to shape with a pair of scissors as long as it was submerged in water. Hoping to test it out soon!

Heya! I'm from Melbourne too, hope to catch you around sometime!

No dice then, I've been poring over plenty of them and nothing came up

Hope you don't mind the question, but is there anything I should look out for? Like putting in "renamed" for the keyword search?

I'm also looking into it, haven't found anything on Trove or the old gazetteers in the library. I'm starting to think I may have been misled 😅

Thanks! Just doing more research in the hopes of finding stuff closer to me (or more, at least!)

A piece of citrine (?) I picked up from a gravel bank while fossicking at Reedy.

My very first bit of gold from Yack and Reedy, it's not much but it's the first bit I found through my own effort (aside from the stuff from Sovereign Hill)

Hiya! Lumi from Melbourne, I've recently caught the gold fever. I tried prospecting in Yack and Beechworth a while back and I'm pretty excited about this new hobby. Hoping to find some creeks in Melb where I can fossick though haha
