[QUOTE="shivan, post: 137496, member: 194"] About a year after we started prospecting i got into the habit of taking my gold with me to Oallen in vials to show people who were stopping bye for a chat and a stickybeak. One day i had 3 vials on me, one with about 15g of dust, one with about 0.5g of dust and one with a 0.5g nugget. At the end of the day i went to get the vials out to add what we had in the snuffer bottle to the 0.5g vial, to my horror i pulled out to caps and some broken glass with gold dust on my fingers :o Thankfully the 15g vial was intact but the 0.5g vial had shattered and the lid had somehow come off the vial with the 0.5g nugget and it was not in my pocket 8.( We ended up highbanking my pocket and got about 0.4 back of the dust but after much searching still no sign of the 0.5g nugget :/ We came back the following week and continued where we had left off as we were doing well at that spot. At the lunchtime clean out we could see a nice line of gold in the pan, but to my joy, as i got about halfway through panning i saw a huge flash of gold and after giving it a prod with my finger saw it was the nugget we had lost the previous week :D [/QUOTE]
