[QUOTE="Guest, post: 186928"] Yeh Coota, ya dead right. Definitely a decent trip. That's a great lookin specie!! Ironstone and quarts looks great. Did ya neutralise the acid after? I use bi carb soda. I put it in with the nuggets when they are ready to come out to neutralise the Alibrite. Rinse and soak with bi carb again. Ya don't want to leave the acid in the porous Ironstone and between the cracks of the quartz unless you want the gold free of it's host rock. I've read that blokes leave it in Alibrite for around three weeks Only if they want a very clean nugget and not a specie. If ya neutralise the Alibrite, don't forget to do it outside. It will bubble up and release gasses. [/QUOTE]
