Never think its trash , I thought it was found only 6 inches down in the side of an old test hole. I'm sure others have gone over it before as there was recent diggings very close. Luck yea plenty of that.https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/5449/1485070579_image.jpg

Yeah some of the small ones haven't gone far as there's a small reef pretty close. The boggy was found only about 30 meters from the smaller ones and doesn't look like it came from the same place so I'm a bit confused which is not surprising.jwal said:Some nice rough pieces there Bjay - they don't look like they travelled very far from the source. (unlike mine above that look like they have been around the world a few times)
And big win on that 50gm.....I often wonder some times if I think something is junk cos the sdc yells so loud...oh boy - checking every bit of junk will take longer, but seems to have paid off - well done..
My kids would have been embarrassed if they seen what I did. Young bloke was there this morning when I got the little bits but unfortunately missed out this arvo on dads embarrassing behavior.SC75 said:Congrats Bjay 8)I bet you done a few fist pumps when you found it. Well done.

I'm so happy for you.
We all dream of the day of cracking 1 ounce, and you nearly cracked two.
Well done mate!
