nice gold and all reasonable size must be a good area to be able to get that in a pan

perhaps you should visit the claim with your detector

Kiwikeith , Robert was using his F75 detector hence he got the bigger nuggets in picture 4... we have a returning invatation to the place so once i get another detector i will be up there with it...but very happy with my results.

Well done mate on that gold, excellent finds!!

My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my collection for what I told her it cost me.

the South is the place to be Gavin and you to could go there I am sure.

Chris - That gold has a particular sort of a colouration to it and I think I know where you found it - I might go and have a look myself this weekend coming up!
