[QUOTE="Stevoggo, post: 138310, member: 4471"] Wow! what a great reply nuggetino....thanks for that. the first point was all i needed...my current understanding is that all nuggets eroded from rich quarz....or escaped via faultlines in a reef... But that doesn't seem to be the case......which led to my initial post.... Also toecutta thanks i have read loamers posts....they are awesome....but I was after more info on geological conditions that form the nuggets... TBH I'm not exactly sure what this means... Now, the generally held belief is that nuggets formed very near to the surface as gold precipitated from solutions arising from chemical weathering of deep and diffused gold deposits. But it sounds like what I was after!.. Cheers all Steve [/QUOTE]
