Now that is exciting right there. Reefy gold bits all together like that.
Were there any old workings nearby?

ps You need Goldchaser's little dozer LOL

Quite humorous there Slimpickins.I have been back and did some careful detecting around it but nothing to speak of yet.Have cleaned up the species will add later.Still thinking about how to proceed on this one.

Hi deutran, are there any obvious slate bars/ reefs either side of your hole, would any gold including what you found, be trapped between these two slate reefs? Can you detect between these two slate reefs up the hill?

Hi slimpickins
There is no obvious slate its all quartz reef.I have found random nuggets trapped in the bouldery quartz or under the quartz gravels or red clays.
