[QUOTE="Bundy Ben, post: 158385, member: 5203"] Thanks Lefty, after today I realised I was lucky....haha. Sunday is the only day I wont be there. Went back up again today but spent more time just scoping & testing different areas. I noticed a few things, the main workings seem to run NNW to SSE, on the western side there is a lot more ironstone in the layer and the base rock is more of a reddish granite. On the East, less ironstone and the base is white. I know the Miriamvale fauldt is near here somewhere... Maybe this is right on it? Spent the last few hours at the northern end where I came across a slightly thicker layer of coarser rock, looks the goods but only found one tiny, slightly coloured crystal. Food for thought anyways... Might even head back up tomorrow & will be taking a few of the family up Saturday, if my body can handle it :) Will keep you posted. [/QUOTE]
