Nar i dont "think" there is a reef close by but hey like i said i dont no much about such things... if you look at that gold it,s farely water worn though some of the pickers do have say crisp edge,s on them on the quarts quite sharp so i,m thinking they may have broken off a larger lumb tumbling down...but then were would the lump have come from!! but then on another breath iv got all of these from within a 10 meter strip and it is a creek bed but the water is mostly all gone at the mo....so look,s water worn but not much water...so confusing....
