[QUOTE="KIM-MARGARET, post: 142585, member: 1311"] Rusty not sure if your post is a joke. From what I know about leaf gold it breaks out of the host rock due to weather its flat as so generally sits on top of the ground I have seen a piece from Western Creek 7 inches in length and folded over. I have a nice piece with the host rock indentations on it. Most important of all the host rock is usually on top of a slop or hill and is exposed to the weather, all of mine were picked up on the side of the slop on top of the ground, for some reason Western Creek is the place for this type of gold, most people walk over it, as the detector signal is not the same as a nugget, once you kick the top of the soil with your boot it moves so most walk away believing its trash. Wow 21 pieces is pretty good, Jacko I cant wait to get back. Margaret [/QUOTE]
