Beautiful. Some shapes are rough and obscure, but ones like that are magic i reckon in that you'd swear they're man made. Pity it's not a bit bigger Digger, it make a great piece of natural jewellery.

Im sorry to say but that really looks man made. Are all the balls exact spheres? And that looks like a joiner hanging out the big end (do the balls spin?). I hope for your sake it is natural.

Nah doesn't spin! The photo is dicieving, I was wrong when I said pin head, I mean like the thickness of a pin lol, it's tiny! Just really zoomed! Wouldn't even think it was a bead at that size.

A friend just looked at it and said probably slag, but it's size is way to small to be a drop I would of thought!

Either way a good peice to look at for years to come.

looks very much like a droplet of sorts, could be another mineral which has attracted a find gold coating, either way its interesting thanks for sharing.

Some people you cant help.

 

[SCROUNGER]

Wouldn't happen down here at the moment yobskin, i reckon you could romp around naked for a solid week and not get sunburnt :lol:

 

[Marked]

It's those windy overcast days that can really sneak up on you with the sunburn ...

 

[SCROUNGER]

Well there's plenty of them days down here Marked, but don't worry, it's a little to brisk to get the gear off mate. Eleven degrees here today and that wasn't with the wind chill factored in

 

[yobskin]

Hi
This is my first post of the first find I found with my son.
Long story as his mate then lost it!!
Took us 2 more trips to find it.

We call it the perseverance nugget.

Second pic is what I gave to the wife.
Now she lets me go whenever I want too.!!!

 

[G0lddigg@]

hey thats awesome scottlucky.. nice trinket too

 

[aussiefarmer]

first gold with new sluice its good to brake them in on their first outing saves a lot of doubting. The photos when uploaded have grew to 3 or 4 times actual size unfortunately . I wish they were that big but that would make my pan 3 foot across lmao. :lol: :lol:

 

[AtomRat]

Throw a coin in the pan next time for reference man hehe great to know the sluice day went well!

Looks like an ounce 8)

 

[aussiefarmer]

Didn't weigh it but hey 1 gram 1 ounce its all good

 

[Oldfella]

Very nice pieces aussiefarmer, well done mate

 

[yobskin]

Fathers day with the kids...Mary river at its best.
The rocker box cleaned up that river gravel quicker than my 5 foot sluice...3-4shakes per bucket.
My kids were operating it /fighting over it hahaha and it still had gold in it... :lol:
