Nice find all, LC76, the gold is always in those difficult to reach spots.

 

[LC76]

Heated it up dumped it in ice water and the gold practically fell out of it.

Crush the quartz for any 'fines' through it...

Hi Guys

Went for a swing with Steve (pig iron) and Paul 13 yesterday. Great day and great company. We all managed to go home with gold, Steve had 8 little pieces, Paul got 6 and I got 5 as per below.

The larger one was .95 ( just missed the gram) all up about 1.2g so very happy.

Once again big thanks to our host Paul.

Cheers

Bob

Posted in the meet up thread, but here's my collection from the weekend...

 

[maxwell4]

Hi guys

Bought home a couple of hot rocks yesterday that had no visible signs of gold. Crushed them up and panned them off

Just goes to show you need to investigate before you chuck them away, will add the bits covered with ironstone to the two rocks I have soaking in albright. Hopefully there is a lot more to come from them.

Cheers

Bob

Ps some good results from the meet up at Maryborough

My golden egg with ironstone yolk from this morning. Plus my other bit I was 99.9 % was sure was another piece but not to be. Funny thing they weighed much the same 9.7g . Pretty sure it's 303 but looks to be a bit shorter than other 303 rounds i'v found and most older one I didn't think we're boatail like this one .marksman?

 

[Davent]

Might not be a.303. 7.7mm CIA for 303

 

[7.62marksman]

The weight if i remember was bullet 11.5 grams) remember that is for an unfired one
It would diminish going down the barrel and then the sudden stop at the end
