    Fern, my white Boxer dog, is an accredited service dog under the 1992 DD act. She holds special access rights to be allowed to enter places most dogs cannot. This includes National Parks such as Chiltern Mt Piolet NP where Reedy Creek is located. Unless your dog is an accredited service animal they are not allowed to enter NP.

    Frogs have green skin, leprechauns wear green, therefore frogs guard gold deposits.

    What a little beauty of a specimen. I like them even more than just pure gold. Lucky you! And frogs don´t lie ;)
    You say its hard to read this old river because lack of water. But you find coarse pieces of gold which indicates that they could not have traveled a long way throug water flows I guess.
    So would you consider detectoring the area to find the hotter spots or even quartz veins where the specimen broke off - or would it just not worth the effort?

      @@VoGusProspecting congrats man I hope you find the reef they are breaking off of. That one I just got was in a very similar topo and geo area that you mine around the veins are there and most likely lots of small fissures close to the surface still. Those tiny ones branching off the small ones that come off the main origin are usually the most productive and they are the ones that get most passed over. With time and erosion on your side some could have been exposed that weren't 150 years ago. Best of luck Doobie'
