Worth chasing ?

[Goldfreak]

Found this in half a bucket of likely looking small stones on the surface the rains had washed out recently. Worth chasing ? Probably lost a fair bit because not used to panning out the really fine stuff.

That's an excellent result from a half a bucket of gravel. Now you just have to work out a way of processing a larger quantity. I wouldn't get that much from most of my dirt but if I can process several tonnes then it starts to pay well.

I think its stuff the old timers may have spilt or broke off while heaping ore from anouther location. Can't locate any nearby reef or source but have found amalgam nearby which contained gold and various old machine parts. There would be a few ton of it laying around spread over a couple of acres but all in small bits but that's fine. I have a little hammer mill that can only take gravel size anyway.
