Nice loner nugget there Wiley..... how far down through the wash layer till you hit that clay gold trap and what detector do you use?

 

[wiley coyote]

Hi OzzieAu. About 10" deep. 7000. Clear signal. Any detector would have got it. I simply walked over it first.

Lovely nugget, great to find them but those one of nuggets can be a bit frustrating but hey, its better than none.

Here's another solitary nugget I found this weekend. Gridded the area for hours, but couldn't get even a tiddler! It's got an unusual shape, and came out of the ground like that. Just scrubbed it with a brush and water. wiley

Thanks fwdoz. It won't last. These runs of luck never do. Just enjoy it while it's happening.

You are doing a lot right, so I think it is more good preparation & research than luck

That 19g horse head is nice and would make a lovely pendent. Cheers Mackka

You've got a brilliant imagination if you can see a horses head in that Mackka. Looks more to me, like a piece of horse ****! lol. If you like it that much, I'll sell it to you at a fair price. How much is horse **** an ounce these days, anyway? lol. I'll post another photo of it when I've cleaned it up. wiley.

 

[wiley coyote]

Here's a few photos of the last find cleaned up. It's already got a few holes in it to fit a pendant bail. wiley.

I got these on the weekend. All a fair way from each other. The 4 and 3 grammers were about 9/10" deep. The 0.20 about 1".

 

[Mackka]

Amazing the different colours. Well done.

Thanks Maccka. The brown stuff in the 3 grammer is actually small bits of ironstone stained quartz. So I suppose you could call it a specimen. wiley.

That’s a good weekends pay mate. Well done.
