Hey guys,
As I'm just starting out been researching and trying to find some ground close to home. There is gold country not far away but is a bit of a hike in to find it and with a busted knee on the mend not too keen on the hike just yet. I'm just wondering if anyone in the past has tried cliffs near the beach before? There use to be a mine in the area but I think it was more of a sand mine and I'm guessing if they had found gold there would be a lot more to read about it and they wouldn't have stopped mining where they did.
Anyway I have attached a couple of pics one is of a couple of rocks I grabbed that were only in certain patches but when I found them they covered that particular area, the brown ones are pretty metallic and dunno about the other white one. The other photo is of one of the areas I picked out that is where I think I will grab a sample next time and take it home and have a look at.
If anyone could give me some pointers that'd be awesome
Who knows might be completely on the wrong track but experience = knowledge and gotta start somewhere
Cheers
Darryl
