Yorke Peninsula S.A. Gold?

[markgoldhunter]

Well you wouldn't think it possible down the southern end of the peninsula at a place called xxxxxxxxxx just there right on the beach front. There I was setting up to make some sinkers for fishing, so I chucked a handful of my collection of lead into my melting pot and started heating on the gas burner, I noticed one of the 'lead' pellets had a slightly different colour to it. So I picked it out with my long nosed pliers and discovered that it was actually a little nuggie about 0.3g.
I showed mrs. m.g.h. and told her I am that good I can even find gold on the beach. In a year when we haven't been able to get out to swing for gold this was indeed a Welcome Little Stranger..

edit to stop a rush.

I wouldn't be sprouting out loud on the forum or else the place will be full of potholes before you know it.

The nuggie was actually found in W.A. but ended up in the scrap lead pot with all the bullets and shotties.

There certainly wont be a rush on down here.

Gold is well known on the Yorke Peninsula (nearly 4 tonnes produced, last mine closing early 1990s), and Secret Squirrels has posted on some. No big nuggets known though. But I like your explanation better......
