[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 659835, member: 4728"] Remember over in Meekatharra some years ago getting a distinct signal from one side of a large quartz boulder. Just didn’t have anyway to smash the gold out of it and It was far too large for me to carry back to the car so I just turned it over so the signal side was face down and just left it there. A few years later on my next trip I found the boulder again, rolled it back over and the signal was still there. Had a mate with me this time and we got it back to where we had some more effective rock breaking tools In the car. Brushing a bit of dirt away from the boulder to see if we could spot the gold, the signal vanished. The gold had just been a nugget stuck to the outside of the boulder by clay. Could have been a disaster if it had fallen off anytime while we were busting our guts rolling/carrying it about a hundred yards. [/QUOTE]
