Hello all, I've found this spot in the north east of Victoria near where I live. The area was full of reef mines and according to old maps right in the vicinity of where I am.
I've put a clip up on YouTube so you can see the spot. The area is very big and full of red mineralized dirt that goes off on the detector. I dug a bucket of the dirt and classified it. Found small bits of quartz which I crushed. No gold in the quartz but 80 small specs in the dirt. A second bucket yielded 40 specs. This material was all taken from the right hand size wall of an old tunnel/adit
I plan to sample more but would like to get some opinions if it is worthwhile to dolly any quartz I find here. Thanks
