Metal Detecting for Gold
Do puddlers provide useful information for gold detecting (probably not)?

[QUOTE="Grey Panner, post: 664553, member: 15464"] There was gold in clay at Hill End in NSW. Several buildings were built using bricks made from the local claypits. When it was realised that the bricks contained clay some old houses were demolished and the bricks crushed and panned. The results apparently justified the effort. The path into the Hill End museum is made of local bricks and one rainy day, when the dust had been washed off the path, we saw several nice slugs of gold on the faces of some of the bricks. How much more was hidden within the bricks it is impossible to say but it was easy to see why the old-timers crushed bricks and panned the result. [/QUOTE]
