Hi all, Last 10 days of my holiday ,i have been to a site i have been to many times over the years.Resently i got the go ahead to md and pan for gold on an old cornish mine claim and theres a old cottage and a heap of mines and gold working up the back.I looked at the site for about 5 years and every time i drove past i would always wonder if or maybe .Well sometimes wishful thinking comes true.About 3 weeks ago the place went on the market so i rang the owners and got the ok. 
.Over the days i only got a few small penny weight nuggets. worked out to about 1 very 3 hours and man i dug some holes.The ground is real hard and i broke quite a few good old bottles i spoted too.Pipe clay set like concrete.
Heres a heep of pics of the small nuggets and a glass bottle of specks i found in the creek panning below the claim when it rains.Creek is a public reserve and only a miners right is required.I think about 5 years worth and some of these pieces you have seen in some of other panning threads.
History gold was discoved in 1851 and the local area produced 30 million ozs in last 160 years.Theres about 46 grams or nearly 1 and half ozs.
