increased activity deep creek qld

[yobskin]

Hi guys n gals,
Could be coincidence but since i have been posting info about deep creek im seeing more ppl down there ...alot more diggings forsure. (The midnight shift). Lol. Im fine with it cause its not my gold till its in my pan. I put a young fella Dirk on a nice spot polite lad says he didnt find much lil nuggy n some specks . I notice that the flat or bigger surface area gold sits on top of the super fine fools gold so i guess alot of ppl are over panning. Mind you i found 30+ pces for 0.2gm 7 shovels full/3 larg pans. Some were red/brown coloured others were real sharp and blackend, only 7pces were actually yellow n shiny. IM going down today for some more therapy i will post my next lot of finds till then happy hunting....

Sorry little off topic, but those thin nails we found some similar in a tin out the back of Coolgardie any idea what they are used for ? The ones we found were very long (3" or 75mm approx) and super thin ?

I have been told these ones are dress pins, for delicate dress making (silk/lace). We had alot of chinese here back in the day.
Differant lenghts for differant jobs.

They could be bee box nails maybe.
