All of The leaf gold was found with my old GOLD BUG sad to say the little nuggets he couldn't even pick them up in the red dirt about 6 inches down. hence the reason it is now a toy. for the grand children. But lots of fun in the right place.

Hi JeffP
There's some pictures early in the finds section of some of the Gulgong area nuggets that I found many years ago using my Tesoro Lobo. It paid for itself many times over the years :)

Need to be clearer, the terms

My old man is 80 plus (He is Old school) and he found a fair bit on the surface in the NT when he was a young fella.

Should get some pics...
 
Yep Grubstake , thats the stuff !!!! Thanks for that , gives me faith that it can be done without spending thousands :D
 
The nugget was in deep red clay surfacing, the top 12-15 inches of which had been removed back in the old goldrush days. The signal sounded very dull, rather like charcoal I thought, so I assumed I was digging down through the mineralised clay remains of an ancient burnt-out tree, as no matter how much I dug, the sound persisted, rather than fading away. My wife and I had previously found 15 nuggets in the vicinity, for a total of 340g, so as long as I still had a signal of some sort in the hole, I wasn't going to walk away without getting to the bottom of it!
