[QUOTE="NortheastGold, post: 426204, member: 9634"] Hello all, I've found this spot in the north east of Victoria near where I live. The area was full of reef mines and according to old maps right in the vicinity of where I am. I've put a clip up on YouTube so you can see the spot. The area is very big and full of red mineralized dirt that goes off on the detector. I dug a bucket of the dirt and classified it. Found small bits of quartz which I crushed. No gold in the quartz but 80 small specs in the dirt. A second bucket yielded 40 specs. This material was all taken from the right hand size wall of an old tunnel/adit I plan to sample more but would like to get some opinions if it is worthwhile to dolly any quartz I find here. Thanks [video=480,360][url]https://youtu.be/_CCcQ2_4Tzw[/url][/video] [/QUOTE]
