Testing out the new GPX 5000 DIY battery kit for 30 minutes on the way to Wodonga. Little bit from a place that has seen a 6000 and a 7000.

I've tried dishwashing detergent in my Aldi ultrasonic cleaner to try a clean a brass medallion, but nothings happened. Is there any stronger stuff I can put in it to remove the clay, etc. off it?

 

[Mackka]

Try a large jewellery shop as they may have grit used in ultrasonic cleaners.

Haven't posted my finds for a bit but just got back from my first trip since moving to WA. Not too bad for 4 days swinging.

Found some more bits of gold inside lumps of iron stone just now. Don't ignore the hot rocks.

There is more than one way to skin a cat. Well done. My largest bit was a specimen weighed in at over 3.6 kilo so I used the bathroom scale Had to crush it and got about 17 oz from it.

That’s my specimen find it contained 18 ounces at 1 m in depth to GPZ 7000 back in 2019

Some more bits from some likely looking hot rocks/ore. Like to know where it's coming from.

Interesting - I was thinking it might be lateritic gold, but I don't know whether that occurs in SA.

A beautiful day in the sun in this great country of ours & finding what many others have missed. Sounds like a great day to me!

I like the look of those heaps - gently sloping ground, shallow diggings, no evidence of recent raking/scraping/excavating. I'm surprised there wasn't more there for you.
