Buying gold and concentrates/paydirt

[BADGERCREEK]

Wish my local creek had gold it would make things a lot easier but all I found were some tiny pink stones in amongst the black sand

 

[BADGERCREEK]

Wow that would be awesome. What kind of $$$ are we talking mate?

 

[AtomRat]

Not much at all, may even be freebies unless your after pickers and 2g nugz in the paydirt haha

 

[BADGERCREEK]

Some gold would be nice lol. But like would $100 get me some fun?

 

[AtomRat]

That's too much effort for me lol tell ya what ill just bring you some for a start at least and ill even come and investigate the creek with you if you want soon. Pink sounds like zircons

 

[BADGERCREEK]

Sounds good mate. They were very tiny I actually thought they were gold at first because they were all that were left with the black sand. I've only gone through 2 buckets from the creek and I didn't dig down to bedrock or anything but I've also heard there's no gold in there?

 

[AtomRat]

Don't give up..

 

[BADGERCREEK]

Na I'm not, I'm eyeing off a spot behind a decent sized rock. Will have a quick scratch around after I drop the kids at school 2moro.

Will do, I'm hooked and I havnt even found a speck of gold yet lol. I love my fishing and punting too! I get the same kind of feeling when I'm wetting a line or having a punt. The unknown is sucks you in.

Hi Badgercreek,

Yes "the unkown sucks you in" but I find it easier to dig a signal on my detector than digging holes in gem fields hoping to find a nice stone.

It is good to see that you are enjoying your new hobby.

Cheers

Doug
