A Couple Of Small Ones

[Westcoastmark]

I managed to get away a couple of weeks back for five days to chase some gold.

Headed north of Kalgoorlie Western Australia to a spot I've been to before but could only manage a couple of little ones and a specie that was on the surface. Oh and 22 cents!

Despite the good stuff being scarce it was great to get out bush.

The two nuggets come in at just over a gram, all found with a GPZ 7000.

Great looking gold and specimen....Well done...

Thanks Alaskaseeker, It was literally sitting on the surface.

When I heard it i gave the spot a scrap with my boot as I do and seeing it moved I  crouched down expecting to see a bullet and low and behold I could see the gold shining in the sun!

Doing some research on the shotgun cartridge and looks like the date range in 1898-1918.

It's been sitting out there for awhile.
