[QUOTE="Gold Mbr2020, post: 655541, member: 18382"] Hi.You said 19" down for one of the nuggets. Was that with a detector or you dug down into the reef and then used a detector. Was the reef visible or you found signs of it around ie mineralized quartz, iron stone etc and dug down? Amazing this kind of gold can be still found. I still don't really understand how to find or where to look for these so called reefs. I just find the old diggings and wander around really looking for quartz, iron stone and conglomerate. Found these 5 tiny pieces (3sqm area) on a small rise with exposed ironstone up hill from the main diggings. A few diggings in vicinty on the rise which is why I got the detector. Wondering if I should i dig down a foot or so and sample some spots in same spot I found these. Cheers[ATTACH]5451[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
