Joe and I went for a longer walk today looking for that large nugget. It was one of those days where targets were scarce and no matter what we did, nothing abut a few pieces of lead shot turned up. Eventually Joe managed to score a small piece under a plant that was growing on the edge of the creek. A couple of hours later I had a screaming signal on a cliff face about 10 feet up from the dry creek bed. I thought it was definitely rubbish but it turned out to be a nice, chunky little nugget. Towards the end of the day, I decided to dig some gravel away to expose a rock bar that was pushing its way into the creek bed. I thought it was the perfect gold trap and was pleasantly surprised to get a broad but subtle signal indicating a metallic object that was reasonably deep. I dug out some more gravel and this is what appeared as I dragged some material out of the hole.
