⭐ Alluvial Show n Tell

[Heatho]

Good looking gold there Daany, has got an amazing shine to it

Yeah some of it does , the ones from the creek do the nuggets further up into the treee line dont , they look totally different in terms of smoothness , some are mixed with a grey/ Silver metal which is surprising Wally

It might be mercury attached to it Dan, be careful with those bits. You can cook it off outside with a good breeze and a blowtorch or oxy, just don't inhale any fumes.

When I was in Bathurst and started to work dry ground I found it heaps more challenging and that the sluice/highbanker
was limiting me to the 'easy' ground...

I put this pic up in the cleaning concentrates thread, but thought I'd put it here too...

Some alluvial gold soaking in oxalic acid. Fine stuff is mainly from Oallen, and chunkier bits mainly from Tuena or there abouts.

Pretty happy with sluice and panning to have retained so much fly poo.

Nice gold Doc. :Y:

Nice haul DrDuck. Makes me feel like a weenie.

I went out detecting , and got time for a few pans from Prospect Creek on the way home before the storm hit.

First time panning from nundle.

A great rattler! Now you will be an addict, having found such a bit first time out!

I did get two specks in my first ever pan, but nothing as exciting as that. What else did you get, and was the bit from a crevice?

 

[Mackka]

A great start Josh

I am no coin expert but I do recall something about a certain year there was a 3.5 toe or 3 toe 5cent

Just a trick of the light combined with dodgy phone camera.

Good eyes though!
