[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 562045, member: 2152"] A short tale of the Ugly specimen. A couple of weeks ago I got a waterworn piece downslope on the south side of a hill. Its in a known gold area, came out shallow in an odd spot. Took the GM last night and swung till dark upslope. Got pretty dark fast but good a good signal. Threw the scoop full in the back of the car. Went out again today and waited for a mate to arrive. Put the dirt on the ground and swung over and recovered a bit of ugly looking quartz. Gave it a couple of light taps and blow me down this came to light. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/10069/1593652155_img_20200702_110101.jpg[/img] Before a clean I could only see the tiniest show of colour. Any way retraced my steps as best I could, and we had a little 2 hour session. 1.2g (reefy), and 2 more little specis, all my mates targets in a line about 8 feet from the original. Best part, no diggings on the upslope of the hillside. The little ugly speci might just be my new favourite piece. :D [/QUOTE]
