Hi all, Yep I have been watching this channel for a while too. The first time I saw him was in an interview with Prospector Jess on YouTube. Cant seem to find it though, it must have been a couple of years ago. Another channel worth looking at is...

Hi all again, They have been exploration drilling around the area for years. . . Got a decent amount molybdenum from a particular mountain easily found on Google and a few years ago did some exploration drilling at a property of one of my uncle's at Tooma and got gold. . . Just not enough to be...

Hiya Jethro, Yeah, nah not copper, chopper. It wasn't a drive, just diggings. But the old fella must have moved quite a bit of earth. It used to be pretty blatant where he was digging right next to the road on the RIGHT sorry, not left (I only just realised I wrote left). Last time I went past...

Hi all, I've spent a bit of time down that way (still got a house in Cudgewa) I remember an old chopper digging at the end of Thowgla. I would imagine you would still be able to spot his diggings on the left pretty much where it goes bush. Must have found something decent around there as he...

Hi Since 1981, I like it it! Sounds like the goods. Yeah, I just jumped to the conclusion that original rocks minerals metamorphosed under the extreme heat without even thinking about other ways as mentioned in his excellent analysation of your pics. I really enjoy being shown another...

Thanks Rat, I'll give you a 10/10 for trying to make me look like a fool, for having a guess at what the protolith or in other words original make up of the specimen was ;) and explaining from my perspective of what form of metamorphoses it underwent from the pictures. I should have written...

BTW, I forgot to mention - awesome chunk of the earth right there :D

Hi, Just winging it off the pics and your post it looks like the protolith was initially made up of quartz and clay that was exposed to intense heat, almost certainly hydrothermal activity. It appears to have gone through neocrystallisation changing original mineral constitution and structure...

Wow! I cannot believe that the moderators took my posts down which only criticised the shoddy workmanship and total disregard for your customer. Basically, you wouldn't get away with supplying a faulty product in everyday life and you shouldn't get away with it on this forum to other forum...

In the top one? Nah just the one but I know the little pebble to the left looks promising; it's just the it was reflecting the light. My mate said the same thing when I showed him.

Cheers guys, made my day, still stoked :lol:

Hi everyone, haven't been prospecting for a long time, but I never expected to spot a speck before i got it in the pan :D . Definitely going to keep my eyes peeled from now on 8)
