Hi All,

Pinged these few bits on Friday and after an Ultrasonic clean I ended up with a very funny shape that needs naming, any suggestion??

What a great collection of pieces.

Without stating the obvious, it looks like the profile view of a an older gentleman, perhaps a crafty old prospector or a miner whose done it hard all of his life, digging shafts (before the days of OH&S).

Perhaps you could call it - 'the prospectors friend'??

either way its a very distinctive nugget.

Hi Peter,

That wasn't the look on your face when you found it - Great detecting as it was quite deep Wink Its a good spot worth revisiting.

Not like "Slug Pellet Gully" we detected later in the day >> Some kid with a slug gun must have had some fun in the past hey tongue
lol!
