[QUOTE="DALEO8, post: 652457, member: 23460"] Hi people, I was out today doing some some research I found an old shaft in the scrub cleared myself a nice area around the shaft for saftey got my detector out and the ground just went berserk so many signals the shaft was apparently sunk for gold but there was melted lead everywhere all around the shaft bit minimal in the mullock picked at least 2kg of this material up just by sight it's very heavy looks and feels like lead I have heard of amalgum being around old mine sites and have been told to pick this up if I ever find it I was wondering if anyone knows much about it and what it looks like have taken some photos as best as I can these look and feel like lead very heavy just can not figure out why there would be so much laying around and what do the old timers use so much lead for. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Cheers [/QUOTE]
