"Spectacular Crysatline Bit"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi All
I thought I would share with you a few photo's of a bit I picked up late last year at "Western Creek" NQ, this bit was coated in Ironstone & only had a small sliver of "Gold" showing on one side, so recently I put it into some "Hydrochloric Acid" to get rid of the Ironstone & I was amazed at what it turned into, there is no wear to this nugget at all it is 100% crystal structure "Absolutely" the best I have seen.
If you are interested in owning such a piece send me a PM I may be talked into letting it go, but guaranteed it wont go cheap.

Well done there. That is one beautiful piece of gold. It would be a shame to sell something like that but that's what we prospect for.

Hi Burke It is a very nice piece and it would look good in anyones collection. But I have noticed no one has offered you a price as yet for this charming nugget, so I'll open up the bid and offer you $5.00 including postage

Hi All
Thanks for your comments & corrections It truly is an amazing bit of "Gold" I most likely will not sell it but you never know when someone makes an offer I can't refuse.

Go to a pub and flash it about....when fist approached with an offer of ?$...say no!..its not for sale. In his mind, everything has a price.....wait him out till he flops 1k on the table...when you accept, pick up the cash and leave.

Sorry Lee, i couldn't help myself cheers Pete.
As it happens, both are correct, But.......
Here in Australia or Britain, the term should actually be "Spelt".
"Spelled" is the American term,although the 2 have now mingled.
I don't mind as long as we don't start using American words like "Funnest" or "winningest", both i heard quite often in my time in the states.
