Trash and Treasure on the heaps..Now with PHOTO

Post  Eureka Dreams on Tue May 17, 2011 11:09 am

Went out in the Triangle yesterday and decided to work some mullock heaps...Well after digging up lots of reburied Mad trash targets..(I take the trash with me)...well i nearly gave up but decided to clean the heap of targets...I`m so glad i did as after digging down 12 inches out popped a nice 6 gram nugget Very Happy and another bit of rusty trash was also in that hole.....Do the hard yards and sometimes reap the rewards Smile

Cheers Eureka Dreams

Trash and Treasure on the heaps..

Post  Eureka Dreams on Tue May 17, 2011 12:05 pm

Thanks stoppsy,yes it can be a bit daunting when you work the heaps as you know there is going to be a lot of junk there..I have dug many a deep hole for old timers junk,and i have said that it will pay off one day...but this was a heap where dug targets were left in the holes...but like you do just persevere as you never know what will turn up..Gold Smile but am very happy it was a nice nugget..

I will get a pic up soonish..
Cheers Eureka Dreams

Eureka Dreams well done mate... thats what its about..persistance of known gold areas always pays off ay. Anytime i find lead i know im in with a good chance to find gold too because people get lazy and easily loose concentration in high junk areas...congrats mate Smile

Well done Bill and just goes to show that persistance does pay to those who put in the hard yards. Why anyone would throw thier dug out junk back into thier hole is beyond me....Lazy, unprofessional morons and they miss out on the good stuff hey!!!!!
Looking forward to seeing your pic.

Cheers Adrian
