Awesome. Leave them as is now they are magical?
They would be worth more in that form than the gold content alone?
Cheers

Bit of an adventure today but still managed a little bit of gold. Originally I was planning on heading out to Home Rule but ended up in the complete opposite direction at Sofala/Wattle Flat. :lol: Probably should have stuck to the original plan I think. Got to Sofala & there seemed to be a lot of people about for a weekday so I headed to a spot I'd got some with the GPX5000 @ Wattle Flat so thought I'd give the SDC a run there. Not long after starting I got an "urgent call of nature". Having heard a couple of other vehicles in the scrub close by I thought it best to head back to the amenities rather than let it all hang out in a semi public area. Seeing as though I hadn't got anything I decided to head back down Sofala way rather than back into my spot as there was still a few other places I wanted to check out.
Spot 2 - junk, junk & more junk. Then I noticed a bloke had pulled up & was watching me. No big deal but about 15mins later there was 2 of them there. I don't mind the odd spectator but it was a bit off putting + I was getting sick of no gold & heaps of junk so it was time for a move.
Spot 3 - headed for a spot I'd walked around before but hadn't been back to do any detecting. Was really looking forward to having a swing about there & was sure I'd have the place to myself. Wrong - got there & some people were enjoying a horse ride right through where I wanted to detect. Oh well - they got there first
Left & thought I might go a bit further down & try another place I knew of but then I seen the sign - 34km to Hill End. Bugger this I thought I'm blowing this place for today & headin' for Hill End. Was a good move. Got 3 little bits & a nice specci showing some gold on all faces in a couple of hours before I had to head home. Sofala & Wattle Flat will have to wait another day :lol:
My old mate Steveo1 has been going great guns over his way with the SDC too.
His last couple of days out:

This is 7 little nuggets from .9 grains to 5.1 grains ea, for a total of 12.2 grains, found at Majuba Mountain in Nevada the last week in August with my Gold Bug 2 detector using the little 6.5"x3" coil.
Kyneton - Lauriston - Malmsbury Vic area.
GPX 4500, 20" NF mono round. Deepish ground in most cases. Very faint signals in most cases - just a small break in the threashold. 12" NF pinged some smaller pieces on a patch clean up. 8x6 NF mono - nil. The larger piece - very close to discounting as ground noise but it was just too consistent although deep, sitting on a layer of red clay. Big coil, deep ground - winner.
