[QUOTE="Goldchaser1, post: 653780, member: 9528"] Great thread Wal Geology is endless and as the topic is for beginners have you touched on the size,mineralisation and colour of the quartz in areas? When we pull up to areas these days we can usually tell if it's worthwhile or not by the texture,colour and size of the quartz if chasing reefs. That's priority for us,also i couldn't agree more you don't need to be in WA or Vic,look outside the square,two of us walked over this about 12-13 yrs ago in nsw,a weathered down reef 10-12klms from the nearest gold being found,a bit over 70ozs of nuggets and specimens. We've had great success on the reefs the last couple of years in wa also,im not exactly sure why but i guess it's a combination of knowledge and persistence,maybe a bit did sink in over the years 😂 [ATTACH type="full"]4861[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
