[QUOTE="RedDirtDigger, post: 272358, member: 2964"] Well done Reece. I too have found a nugget at Wattle Flat cemented in conglomerate where iron has leached through ancient gravels and formed a hard conglomerate. I notice that one of your nuggets has a blister protruding from it. I don't know how they form but the blisters are common on the very flat nuggets from the stuart town-burrendong area. Many of the nuggets are flat and elongated from being hammered in big rivers (ancient paleo Macquarie river channels) yet some have large blisters/domes of gold sticking out of the flat surfaces. Wish I knew how they formed. cheers RDD [/QUOTE]
