Gold ;)

Nice job, guybrush, the bug has bitten you....look forward to hearing of more finds :)

Hi Newbie, I am no expert, and others may have a much more accurate answer. South Australia is such a nanny state, that part is indisputable! Of the three legal designated fossicking areas (Jupiter Creek, Chapel Hill and Mt Crawford Forest) I have panned and creviced some small alluvial gold...
