Retirement Stone said:A previous reply from Chimpy:
Geology of the Barrington Tops Plateau by Lin Sutherland and Ian Graham. p. 12 states " Along Dog Trap road, 4 km east of Stratford, rhyolites of the Alum Mountain Volcanics contain quartz-lined geodes, some of which contain well-formed flourite crystals. ...... Associated with this are amethyst-lined geodes, agates and thunder eggs. Geodes as large as 40kg in weight have been reported from here."
I had a look in Dog Trap Creek yesterday and found nothing of interest except a shotgun shell and a half eaten calf. The above does say along dog trap road not the creek so I am unsure of a precise location.
I have all but given up on fossicking in the Hunter Valley! I revisited the Kerripit river at Rawdon Vale and found 2 microscopic specs of gold. Digging a crevice on bedrock. Should have spent another 30mins to go to Nundle, although reading the research pack the rivers have been sluiced and dredged many times over the last 150 years. This fossicking is a tough gig to find anything decent.
