[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 654588, member: 3960"] As we all know once we take the gold it's gone. Mrs M is always tempted to go where she's been told others found gold. I keep telling her "You are wasting your time. They didn't just find it, they took it". [ATTACH type="full"]5121[/ATTACH] This might be an example of gold coming back. All these little sharp ridges are quartz with a thin coating of brown rock. I've seen this before but never stopped to study it, this time I did. The quartz is growing from a freshly scraped area, how fresh I have no idea, perhaps ten or fifteen years but the machinery tracks are still visible in the surface of the scraped ground and yet the ridges of quartz are in some cases over 300mm in height. This is in a rich goldfield where we often play. They obviously took the gold but I believe it's trying to come back 😎 [/QUOTE]
