[QUOTE="gcause, post: 77131, member: 1497"] Hi All. Do we have any aboriginal prospectors on this forum? I was just wondering if anyone knew about how the Aboriginal prospectors go about prospecting for gold. I know once they locate a nugget they will mark the place with a small cairn (mound) made of pebbles. Not sure of any symbology / culture that goes with this. I also heard tell in my research of lots of aboriginals trading gold nuggets for goods in the towns. One story goes this fellow found a reef near his cave dwelling and was using his axe to cut away large nuggets up to 2kg. People tried to follow him but he always managed to give them the slip. Any insights into this? [/QUOTE]
