[QUOTE="Tathradj, post: 403785, member: 2436"] Start on the rusty objects first. The little Horse shoe is a heel plate from a boot. Hob Nail Heel comes to mind. The long thin brass item, No Idea. Now the rocks side of it. In my Post of Dr George Mining, Heavy Red stained Quartz intrusions into Sandstone was and is a pointer. What the old timers did was to follow these quartz intrusions until they found a pipe. If the quartz was still very stained and broken, They put a shaft down and sampled as they went. Very good Gold was won from this but at times it included heavy sulfides and such making it a bit hard to process. Next time you visit the area and you can find a run of quartz widening out to about 6", Break a bit out, Crush it and pan it. You would most likely get a small surprise. Yambulla South of here has the same thing with some intrusions of quartz into granite and a lot of it is Gold Bearing. Good Luck. If you are also finding things like buttons and such. It has not seen a detector around it. [/QUOTE]
