[QUOTE="Hunting the yellow, post: 83782, member: 68"] The best gold find in late 2011 i was exploreing mines in north east vic. i went down one of the mines i was looking for when i got down the bottum of this 60meter deep old mine i found a small tunnel at the bottum of the shaft and in that small tunnel had a small hand size quartz vain i doug some of it out of the wall and behind it was a small bit of gold my first words wore shit wow lol thats w...hat i kept saying cos i was stoked of finding a quartz vain with real gold in it dad was up top and heard me so he came down on the rope to see what all the fuss was about when he got to me he said whats wrong i said shit dad said what shit i dont see any i then said look here he said i still can't see any shit but i can see what looks like gold. I said yes gold so we doug/chiped out of the roof quartz with gold in it and put it in a bag we had at the time we ended up with about 45kg of gold bareing quartz that we luged back up the same shaft by rope when i got home i crushed up by hand in a dolly pot and a crow bar upside down waching it. I ended up geting about 16 grams of small gold from panning that i melted into a pure man made blob/nugget . A week later we went back and chiped out another 50kgs of gold bareing quartz and crushed up 5kg of the 50kgs i got and out of the 5kgs i got a few more grams of gold witch i added to my 16 gram man made nugget witch was a total of 21grams the rest of the 45kg quartz i kept and sold a few bits as species in the quartz the rest of it i swaped for a rock crusher that made things eazyer then i ended up swaping my 21gramer man made one for my first detector a garrett at gold from bryan and went detecting for gold on the surface and found a 8gramer and 12 gramer allready with it. if you would like to see the doted gold reef i found the end [/QUOTE]
