Had a swing with the gold monster this arvo at nerrina, happy to get 3 micro speci's 😎

A little dream I had.. To move to the victoria goldfields as a digger operator simply so as I work I would be interested in the ground I dig. Less than a year later here I am digging ancient ground with my PB biggest digger (49 tonner).. Checkout the company name on the boom 👌

To dig to that depth by hand, how did they know mate?

Are you saying they actually sunk shafts deeper than the paleo channel and drove along it then dug shafts upwards to the channel and it's branches? Do you have a picture e.g. pls?

I get paid well so time is tight, had my pan in my digger today and managed to sneak down and do a quick 1 pan sample from the top of the gravels coming out of that drive..

Site manager panning with a shovel for scale of depth..

It wasn't the bottom, emptied the sump hole out a bit more. Clean filtered water coming in from what is looking like a drive..

A few to many drinks last night, my apologies

I could share an ilistrattion of paleo leads and troughs, but whatever I see, your just,an assumption based on other work. Who are you!!!!!!

Goldierocks.. I've never seen anything like this and I'm guessing not many others have either coz of its depth. I see a majar historical significance. Surely there is an EL over it, how is this allowed to happen? It's fete is sealed and will all be covered with everyone's wheel bin rubbish!

We have first evidence 🤣, from the pipe clay blob..

Goldierocks.. The good thing is my project manager is very interested in finding a bit of colour, but as usual I'm the guinea pig, appreciate anything you say 😎

Only a fist size piece I crushed in the dolly, zero colour. I googled paleo channel, the larger water worn section would be best, and even more if I chase that slate gutter down to it's bottom. The problem is.. The larger water worn gravels are approx 1m Below design/finish surface of the...

Yeah I realise that mate, I just love my 17x13 😎

Best thing I've found with the 17x13 NF on the 5000 is it doesn't hear small junk, so far I've got 2 big lead shot and every other target has been gold. Target responce volume flat out, phase tech volume flat out with dual gme externals. A possible target from surface isn't even a change in...

Go the 17 x 13 mate 👌

Included in the cemented gravels there is the odd blob of pipe clay..

This is the bottom of our pump sump hole, cemented gravels are larger and rounded, arrow pointing to the slate bottom..

Ok, this is a sample I brought home, majority of the upper looks like this, fine grained and angular..

It all seems to be random but the dark iron staining is top to bottom, it's a good 2m Thick. Only got a couple of hours in today (rain), need more time to get a good look..
