[QUOTE="Reg Wilson, post: 452839, member: 10941"] Sulphide, granite usually decomposes to sand (granitic sand) and sometimes recomposes into a cemented white material when subjected to inundation. This recomposition is a handy indication that the said area was once a stream bed, and as such may have been a settling point for gold if there are nearby auriferous deposits. Any area thus described that has traces of water worn quartz is well worth further investigation. Long Bush north of Dunolly is a perfect example of this type of deposition that produced many large nuggets. [/QUOTE]
