[QUOTE="bogfrog, post: 678034, member: 24557"] Hi, Maybe there are enthusiasts of history. I'm checking on how the original gold-fields appeared in 1851. There's a mythical image of nuggets scattered over the bushland and being scooped up. However, people had walked over Ballarat and Bendigo regions for 14 years and at Buninyong village the discoverer had searched for 2 years. Maybe some spots did have loose nuggets above ground and which got into newspaper stories. But it seems on the evidence that colours were not obvious to prospectors in 1851. Could you comment?
