Nice work Oldfella,

There are several forum members that I want to meet this year and your right up there!

I am sure there would be a lot I could learn from you.

Cheers

Nice nuggets you found there Oldfella, my goal this year is to find my first ever.

 

[Oldfella]

Thanks for the comments guys. These were found at a couple of regular spots that get a lot of attention from locals in the Central West, but the area keeps giving up the goods. Two of the nuggets were directly below power lines, but it didn't take too much to tame the 5000. Underground phone lines give me more trouble than over head power lines.

Id eat them cornflakes all day oldfella thanks for the share

Good to see you still in amongst it Oldfella - don't pinch all that Central West gold though mate

 

[Oldfella]

It was my first time out for over 3 months, was really having withdrawal symptoms :lol: There should be lots of smaller stuff left, I was only hunting for large and deep gold this time, didn't even put on the smaller discs.

Nice little article in GGT too by the way. Very nice nugget that one.

 

[Oldfella]

Thanks Matt, GGT made a couple of small mistakes when they edited my story though :lol: That nugget cleaned up really nice, came in at exactly 3.5 ounces once I removed all the ironstone.

Finally pinged a small nug at Sunny Corner after about my 10th visit there, anyone who has been there will know it's a very difficult place Only 0.05 but it's Yellow.

A good example for those that are scared they wont be able to see the gold.....dogs balls is an understatement!

 

[Heatho]

Thanks fellas, yeah was surprised how bright the piece is in the pic. Went exploring with Wally69, we gave it a good go. He has a weird bit of Iron conglomerate type stuff which gave a good signal, hopefully he has a nug to show also after he hits it with a hammer.
