[QUOTE="davent, post: 663593, member: 6002"] Pine Creek, Mount Todd, Cosmo are all quite a long way from Grove hill. But yep, you are correct, no gold in the granite at all, but i also agree, that i have found some really good stuff within 1 km of the granite. I would also agree with moneybox, that sometimes Geos are wrong when it comes to alluvial gold. As for finding reefs and other deposits and just understanding how everything works, i wish i had 1 1/100th of the knowledge of you geos, and I tip my hat to your ability to learn. i wish i could understand geology a lot better than I do. Somme of the books you recommend, will find there way to me, and great for nightshift! perhaps when the granite pushed up all that time ago, it just moved ground or released other host rocks that were near it, exposing it to the elements... I dunno.....but old Langley did have a few weird theorys, thaT DID LEAD HIM TO SOME GOOD FINDS. Having said that, a thunderstorm lead me to a great patch....I literally pulled over to the side of the road to test a new detector, due to storm ahead of me. It just so happened that it turned into a 30 -40 odd oz patch that had never had a detector over it. [/QUOTE]
