Hi every one, here's a few pieces of reef gold that a friend and I recently found. There's gold trough all the stone shown, sorry that the pictures are not very clear.

Cheers

has the really yellow looking quartz got flour gold all through it as well?

 

[Heatho]

Love your pics Old Fella, that's excellent, hope there's more for you in that spot.

 

[Oldfella]

Thanks guys,
silver - The yellow caking on the top and bottom of the Quartz is very soft. I haven't crushed any of the samples yet, but think that the gold is only through the Quartz itself, never know though

Little rock cakes will gold filling

I was told once if you can see gold In quartz it'll go about 5oz to the ton . ?. . Have you dollied the quartz yet oldfella

 

[Oldfella]

Hi stalker,
I haven't had a chance to crush the Quartz yet, and hopefully in around two weeks I should have much more as I intend on seeing on how far the reef goes, or more to the point, how far I can go Just need to organize a suitable time that my friend and I can go back out to our spot, as I wont do this one without him.

Not this time. I did spend the rest of the day in that area looking for its big brothers.
My brother inlaw found a 6 grams nugget it was his first time out never even touched a detector and got his first nugget within an hour of arriving on a borrowed 3500.
Beginners luck maybe or my excellent teaching not too sure but I know he has the fever now.
