Popular Post geof_junk Posted January 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2020 Some time you can be lucky hunting ground away from known patches. I have provided a couple of google screen shots of my West Australia patch number 2. The first one is of a circle of 1.250 Km with a 200 metre circle and a square of 1 acre in-side of it, to show the size of the spread of nuggets. The yellow small markers are nuggets that my wife and I found. The cluster of nuggets was found in the large circle with a casual chaining of the area.The nuggets out-side of the main circle were found exploring the extent of the spot and has not been chained yet. During this find we found no detector holes and only couple of pieces of junk for sum of over a kilo of gold. During this time (a couple of months) we only saw one 4wd and he was lost. The reason of this post is because of Gold Catchers "Hunting in undiscovered area" although hard to find it worth a go at hunting off known patches. I also would like to see some of you members showing screen shots of the spread of their spots. I am not giving GPS locations and neither should you as one day I will expand my chaining. The second shot is a of the 200 metre circle. 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoPeg Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 What an awesome new patch to find! Gives us all some hope while we endure the many skunked days/weeks looking for new areas! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afreakofnature Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 The first thing that I noticed was that all of the Nuggets were on the west side of that main wash. I would have to believe that there should be some good nuggets in that wash too. Maybe it was just to deep for the detector. Awesome mapping! (And of course....nugget finding) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flakmagnet Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 What a wonderful experience to share with your wife, first of all…It looks as though you are highly organized as far as keeping track of what you are doing and what you have found…working outside known areas is time consuming and most times unrewarding. That fact that you are willing to put your time into it is encouraging. No wonder you have success. Thanks for showing many of us what many will never see but hope to find. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredmason Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I almost always found nuggets when I wandered away from the groups... I am sure there are plenty of patches and stray nuggets waiting for the willing prospector in Oz. fred 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
