Hi folks,

 Found this little fellow at Halls Creek recently. Found with the GPZ on High Yield down about 20 inches in a narrow creek bed. It was only a faint noise and I thought it was another sub grammer a couple of inches down.

I reckon it should be about 62 grams of gold. No, I am not going to try the specific gravity test again to find out. It done my head in trying to do it.

Cheers

Doug

Very nice specie there Doug.    T06    Congrats to you for a very nice find and thanks for sharing.    T25    I reckon you are right with your guess as it’s more gold than quartz.    

Cheers.  

Mike.

DAM! That’s a pretty piece.
Congratulations Doug Q38

I had to do it ( specific gravity test ) well Mike did it, as I haven’t a clue Q35
But at a guess I would say there’s a good ounce of the yella stuff in it.
