Ha yeah its funny ya know, I've driven past that gully a number of times and didn't even acknowledge it!!!? But I'm taking the precautions. I prospect alone and tell no one about locations, cover tracks, use decoys, misdirection and denial..... Any paranoid tactic!

We should be home for a week or two now so I took the opportunity to list a big one to cover the cost of the new quad.

I reckon that could be a collectors piece with all the old encapsulation.

My great grand dad had a lot of pieces like that from building roads in NZ in rremote area between fighting in both wars. All horse back and dynamit stuff.

The prettiest piece was purple jagged quartz on top, white quartz scattered with fine gold in the middle and a big nugget sitting on the bottom, prob 5oz. I wish I knew who got that when he died and could get a photo of it. Quartz and gold for me are the finest gem stones, nothing beats it.
 
I was sitting in the back seat...

I want to sit up front now Jeff :lol: :lol: :lol:

I recon good on you for putting in all the effort and it is paying off for you now :clap: :clap:

Goody :)

Recent Trip to the Goldfields.

Went out for a 5 day stint recently. No Luck involved here. Pure trial and error plus hard work and persistence.

Three things you battle. The Heat. The flys and your minds own weakness.

The largest one went 2.8gms and was found on the way back to the car on my last day. Literally the last target of the trip. Was also in a previously dug hole. Iffy signal. The kind that you swear the bedrock is giving off a hot rock sound. Was at least 30 cm down breaking out rock with my pick. Learnt something new again!!!

Gold really is where you find it!! 2 bits just shy of the half gram mark.

Typical ground. 4 inches down into gravel and pipeclay. 0.2 gm bits. Found with GPZ. SDC with 14x9 coil picked them up, but some only cause I knew there was a target there.

The trips tally. Very happy with that.

I did a very rough count up to 200 bits of lead and rusty metal and reckon there was at least another 100 tiny bits.

Taken without flash.
