BW that specie looks fantastic well done.

 

[BigWave]

Only a tiny one RM (0.5g all up), but it's composition is interesting. Must have broken off something bigger - I wonder where that is Ummed and arred about acid, but it will stay as is.

Caught up with Dig,n-it at inglewood Saturday evening was good he has so much Passion and patience for our Addiction (hobby)
Sunday I wanted to head to Maldon and recheck an area that that gave up a nice Specie in August .
But could not re find the very small area oh well .. So stopped at a random digging coil on ground about 5 minutes and
SDC moaned at a piece of Quartz the size of my fist no visible sighs of Gold but is was solid Quartz
After a bit of tapping it opened to show this

on the way home stopped at Heathcote for a quick look at the burnt off area got a very little nuggy 0.022 gr not my smallest with the SDC
was about 30 -40mm down was only the slightest change in the threshold .
Was another Awesome weekend in the forest

Doesn't that mean that the yellowy quartz would be flour gold, n should be dollied up n panned off Dam it.

I have just moved to the Maldon area!

Anyone know what's up with Walshie? He's a great gold hunter and used to post weekly - sometimes daily.

Well, my first year out detecting, went out about a dozen times, and this is my little collection.

Thankfully I do this as a hobby and not for a living... Wouldn't even add up to a gram I don't think... But haven't got the species out..

 

[Minelab Gold]

Hey guys,

Back out again today for about 4 hours after arriving home at roughly 2:00pm - hit the fields at 4:00ish.

Enjoy - happy hunting

Regards M.G

My complete haul for 2016 (my first year in this hobby)
54 nuggets

Bottom centre was my first find @ .17g ( the little chicken leg shape ) and come from Vic
The bottom right is my largest @ 1.58g and come from WA
The bottoom left looks like Australia and is cool
And the top centre is my Nike tick. Or as its also known "the golden stiffy"

Goals for 2017, get an ounce in nuggs and my first gold nugg find in my home state (SA)
Enjoy
LORD

 

[BigWave]

Very respectable for your first year Lord. Would love to see what your second year brings

 

[Bjay]

Very nice Lord for first year. I also achieved an ounce in my first year but unfortunately didn't get close this year , next one will be better I'm sure,Maybee,still gonna try though. I haven't put up a photo of my big nugget yet. Not sure if I should? Maybee I better find it first

 

[Northeast]

Posting this up for jungles. He is having a few days sojourn around the Victorian GT. Pretty good finds so far as he is fairly new to the Z. He can explain a bit more when he is online.

Hey bigwave. I've been lurking in the background reading when I get a chance. I've been out a few times on the gold in the last couple of months but have been out on the motor bike quite a bit.
I managed to find gold on every outing in 2016 and found heaps of small stuff. Biggest bit was 5 grams and in a heap suprisingly.
Hopefully get out a bit more when it cools down.
Total for the year was roughly 1.3 ounces at a guess.
Some awesome finds of late fellas, love seeing the pics

 

[Chewy]

Good to see ya still kickin about Walshie.
