[QUOTE="jethro, post: 209533, member: 1297"] Heres another series of photos of a lode in granite [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1297/1448784594_dsc00007.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1297/1448784656_dsc00009.jpg[/img][img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1297/1448784688_dsc00010.jpg[/img][img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1297/1448784717_dsc00011.jpg[/img] The location is not exactly a road cutting, its on the bank of the dartmouth dam near the entrance to the larsens creek arm. At least one vein looks very mineralized. I didnt take a sample as It was late in the arvo and I needed to get back to the ramp to aviod the rush. I think I was on my own that day too. Dartmouth dam is a great place to observe many different geological formations as there is a good geomap, the 1in 100,000 tallangatta mapsheet that you can take with to identify the various types of bedrock and geological features. Most of the soils that usually cover the underlying bedrocks has been washed into the dam as the banks are so steep so its easy to see what is usually hidden underneath. The fishing & yabbies are good too. :D [/QUOTE]
