Out of curiosity mate were your nuggets deep or shallow?

The only patches I have found are other peoples old patches. Usually found because some lazy bugger didnt fill there holes. Luckily for me they were too lazy to follow a straight line as well ;)
 
Spent 5 solid hours yesterday afternoon working my backside off trying to find a bit of gold but came home goldless. Was very dissapointed in myself.

Managed to unearth a 1927 three pence so at least I found something of interest.

I decided this afternoon I would head back to Maryborough. Went to the servo and filled up with diesel. Just as I was pulling out I decided to turn the opposite way and try somewhere a bit closer to home. God only knows why I changed my mind at the last minute.

Anyway turned out to be a stroke of genius as I had my best days detecting ever picking up 7 bits of gold in 4 hours. Bloody stoked I can tell you. They may not be huge but I am rapt all the same. Took my tally to 77 pieces :D
All I need now is the big one!

Nice piece Patrick, something about it makes my think of a weird Dragon????
I'm heading out for a day tomorrow and still undecided where to head to, hopefully I can just get the gut feel like some of us ......
Hopefully I'll find a piece and contribute a bit too with a photo.
Cheers
 
We found this BSA Sprocket while we were out looking at old mineshafts today. From the research that I have done so far it looks to be a BSA 24 Skiptooth Sprocket of about 1940/50's vintage.

24 3 Patent 13696/99

Couldn't find the rest of the bike, could be down a shaft anywhere out here in the middle of WA. :lol:

Cheers
