Got this slug in the castlemaine area last weekend using the ultimate spiral dd on the 5000
Congrats! :Y:
How deep?
How deep?
Found this in edge of this weathered gully. 0.13gr, it had a bit more stone & quartz adhered to it originally.
Question is, area is heavily surfaced, see first couple photos, does this mean this area that is eroded, is through the material that was originally surfaced & stockpiled & has now set (like concrete!!). Or is this an area that was not surfaced due to gold running out in this area?
If it is the former, surely this stockpiled material is prime material to be searched for nuggets? ie it has only been searched through the once - 160 years ago?

Was very loud from the surface.

Can't work out what in your photos you consider was stockpiled in the past. I see undisturbed conglomerate, typical of things like the White Hills Gravel in Victoria, that has still never been worked. Which I would be detecting over, especially at the bottom of some of those faces.
You can see where they have dug in a bit at the base of the conglomerate (looks a bit softer) - that is where the gold they were finding probably was coming from.

Pretty sure you meant to quote this post from Scoopy rather than the one from Teemore.

Should have gone to Specsavers ...... if it's a golden colour it's usually Gold .... the coin may have confused you, it's a farthing.
But your probably right about the scenic pics posted by Scoopy.
Sorry couldn't't help myself.

OK, thanks for that, wasn't sure if that conglomerate material was undisturbed or was material that had been washed 160 years ago & then had solidified like concrete over that time.
I find it interesting that the ground has been stripped to the bare rock alongside this area. I guess then, this conglomerate area is there simply because it could not be surfaced like the adjoining section.
There is a lot to learn!
There must be a pile of material somewhere though that has been washed off the ground. Need to find it!!

Great start to 2021 after a bit of a dry spell from Wedderburn.

Weight 2.01 grams.
Smaller one .3
Good to contribute to the forum for once.

When I've come across this I've reset the scales, added something small that DOES show a weight THEN add your tiddler ...... should show a slight increased reading on the scales.
By the way ...... no-one cares if they're small, it's all gold.
