Hi went out last evening after the rain.Few showers and temp was too cold.I been working up the sides of a another gully. Not much luck so i spent some time around a few trees that burnt down in the Feb bushfires.With rain regrowth is coming up quick so i will have to step up my trips in the gully as soon the weeds and undergrowth will take over .Spring is just a few weeks away.

Found a large winding key on ground, say for a clock and a big one at that.LOl A old fence line proved to be a good place to start. After about 2 hours i had a couple of nice 6 grams size nuggets.Been as greedy as i am , decided to keep going. ;D ;D ;D

Got a quite sharp sweap sound and thought i had a piece of lead, about size of a flushing cover.Well i dig down and out came the colour yellow. :laughing9: :laughing9: :laughing9:


The nugget found is named :headbang: after the Welcome Stranger and treasurenet

What a beauty!!!!! That looks like it would make a fine piece of Jewlery and sell for much more than the gold value alone. Another option is to mount it in a glass display and watch others just drool!!! HHHH
