[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 537231, member: 4012"] It's possibly gold, although I would have expected the black stuff to be shinier. Here's my own [i]Sheep sh1t[/i] nugget which is from the same area, for comparison (the white line across the bottom is a matchstick):[img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4012/1581579266_sheep_sh1t_nugget1.jpg[/img] Be careful with any cleaning you try other than with water and a toothbrush - if it's like mine, the actual gold is spongy rather than solid and crumbles after a week or two in hydrochloric acid.
