Perspective

[TTKooAu]

I thought I would share a few pics of some gold I panned last month.
they came from a crevice in a dry creek in Mt Crawford Forest, SA.

sadly it is all a matter of scale.

the major divisions are 5.0mm - the medium scale divisions are 1.0mm. the minor scale divisions are 0.1mm.
the speck in the last pic is a smidge over 2.3mm long.

they still look pretty though. even at this micro level, they have quartz inclusions

Thanks for sharing,was just thinking of giving the dry blower or gold cube a run there soon..and saw your post ..now I'm keen..just rang the office at Mt Crawford..and no one home , even though office hrs 9-11 am 7 days a week..bloody hopeless..If I pay my 5 bucks I want access to all the available area declared for fossicking ,and not locked gates everywhere ..As I've experienced in the past..Cheers..If you want some company out there send us a pm..

Thanks. took them with a usb microscope. I had one with 1000x zoom but is is way too powerful....it can see the microbes swimming around in a drop of water....lol. But I got another with variable zoom 50x to 500x. These shots are about 100x

For $20 delivered I'm not complaining

Hey they're great for this type of thing - tried taking close shots using an 8mp camera on the gps and they turned out blurred not good at all ...... have to invest in one of these

thx for sharing!
