[QUOTE="m@ttACT, post: 516610, member: 3337"] Thanks guys Ive sampled a bit and yep small and large flakes of gold throughout the crushings. Ill weigh the rest and gravity test it then Jethro probably sell them as they look great and good for a collection. RS Im sure its reef they were chasing as ive scoped out a 2 km line of these workings where you can still see the untouched saddle reefs they bypassed most likely as they didnt have enough mineralization Id assume. If Im honest Ive seen heaps of different specimens and nuggets over the years, along with some other reef specimens Ive found only lately in my area a lot of gold bearing rock that literally looks like headland reef on a coastline. Only comparison I can make. I recently found a section of the ancient Shoalhaven River high on the cap of a hill siding a conglomerate deposit. This section was about a foot wide, waterworn into square sections crisscrossed by heavy dark quartz veins. The area with the above finds was known for reefs, small nuggets and alluvial. Im heading back out next week for 4 days gonna smack it hard! [/QUOTE]
