[QUOTE="Bug, post: 668280, member: 23571"] Thanks for your insight, Hawkear. An odd place and a lot of effort would have been involved for this piece. It was a 30 minute hike, with no vehicle access, and some pretty thick scrub. Props to the trickster! I think I might crack it open along a fault and see if there are any inclusions that run through it. I've heard of fake nuggets being planted in and around Slaty Creek in Creswick, but never thought I'd fall victim to a joke too. Great story with the claim, and interesting to hear a bit of history regarding those tokens. Would be great to see some photos of the tokens if anyone from PA managed to pick one up. [/QUOTE]
