Found this little guy in the cons from highbanking a sapphire/gold area.
It is very small but hard and shows no sign on corrosion like lead or silver would.

Has anyone found platinum in their cleanups? Or detected any nugs for that matter?

I've heard talk of some being found in one particular dry creek near Red Hill on the Menindee road not far from Broken Hill ,
lots of creeks out there ! where to start ? :/
 
Hey Reece, Platinum has double the SG of lead, an SG test should pretty much determine if it's platinum. Interesting find mate.
