[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 653306, member: 4386"] Let's agree to disagree - slightly more years for me, so we are both old farts. All major nuggets at Ballarat came from such bodies, I have personally seen up to 400 oz nuggets come out of the margins of big barren-looking quartz blows and know barren-looking quartz blows still cropping out over many metres in width from which 300,000 oz have been extracted, and have much coarse gold detected from the margins of large quartz blows that still outcrop within the Ballarat city limits. My point was that it seems a pity to exclude the vicinity of large quartz blows when detecting, as well as looking at the other places you discuss. Never yet seen anything come out of the middle of a large iron-poor quartz outcrop as you say, so I am not sure to what degree we are disagreeing (hence the "slightly disagree". [/QUOTE]
