Hi all.

It was a great day to be out yesterday. I spent a few hours in Castlemaine again with Moredeep and a friend of mine. That's not to say that Moeredeep isn't a friend of mine as well. It wasn't until the early afternoon that I finally picked up a piece. I thought it was a shotgun pellet at first but after cleaning it the thing shone like gold, and it was. Unbelievable, about the size of 7 or 8 shot and almost perfectly round. So much so that it rolls around everywhere. It tipped the scales at 0.25 gram.

I also picked up a couple of other things, a snake loop and a copper disc that probably came off some costume jewelery.

Those small bits do add up in the end. A great appetizer but lets hope you get a heap. There is 400 in the photo below.
