Lost treasure of the Derwent Sparrowhawk Gully 1851

[tinpan]

With gold rushes happening all over the colony of Victoria in 1851, there seemed just to be no end of new finds and locations on a day to day.Many of the smaller rushes that only produced moderate returns to the miners where quickly left as most moved to more promising grounds.But little did the miners know much small gold was left untouched in some of the lesser gullies of the rush.Over the the past couple of months i been working these lessser gullies.quite a task at hand as most gold left is at depth so time for p1 unit and dig all targets.Getting a half gram to 4 grams pieces and some afternoons nothing.Well heres what i recovered from a long forgotten gully in the past 6 weeks.

tinpan ps aussie 10 cent is the same size as a modern US quarter

You've changed man (imagine it said hippy-style)

Nice ones Tinpan - hopefully you've been getting a bit of rain to make it easier digging

Hi...it must be amazing to be able to recover Gold nuggets do you know the quality of the Gold (karat) also what do you do with your Gold

I was wondering have you ever thought of having it made into a special piece of jewelry for a loved one

We know why he has been so quiet recently, he has been out in the bush amassing another huge pile of gold

Well done Tin

Anyone else think that he should change his name to Goldpan??
