[QUOTE="Deepseeker, post: 513039, member: 13321"] No probs. Sorry mate, I was just doing an edit and somehow managed to delete half the post. Link is still there though. Bingo! This one's even better mate [url]https://collections.museumvictoria.com.au/items/400938[/url] It's specifically Shallow Alluvial Sinkings :D It reminds me too of something that I once read in one of Loamers posts. He said that when you often read that a particular nugget was found "shallow", that you should bear in mind that to the old timers "Shallow" was considered to be anywhere up to 8 or even 12 feet deep :( Which of course is not much use to a metal detector. I suppose at any depth if the gold is deposited by alluvial means, including long-since buried ancient rivers, it could even possibly be hundreds of feet deep. [/QUOTE]
