So I had a bit of brain spaz while explaining the little I knew about how gold gets to where it is, but in my little brain fart moment I realised how it would have been back then, to find true blue Virgin territory, imagine it. Walking to a shallow lead stubbing your toe on a rock then trying to move it only to struggle with the shear weight of it and seeing a mass of gold show through. Then immediately getting excited and run off to sell it at the low price gold was, but that's what has me thinking is there trully a virgin lead anymore because in the course of geographical time I beleive it would have taken 10's of thousands of years for gold to get where it laid until it was dug, so that one guy stubbing his toe would have screamed eureka then sold it, people would ask where he found it and went to that exact location just to find more, that's when the haste to get as much as they could and it would have been everywhere literaly, now days yeah there's float gold and flood gold but not many large nuggets.. I'd just love to go back to those days just to see how the terrain looked then, soo how they did it, if the ground west of Western Australia or South of Victoria ever became dry I'd know how gold happened to be and id find the largest points and work all the gullies and work out where the natural riffles would be, all the run offs of water then Trace it back to the source, some places I've been look like once upon a long time ago it would have been under water and maybe at one stage all of Australia was under water and our highest peaks/mountains would be areas where the sea floor was.. Idk just one of those thoughts I had.
