    I got 40 acre bush block in Golden Triangle. My property is littered with quartz above ground and I have a disused small gold mine shaft on property too. Stories like this make me want to reopen my gold mine! :)

    "who wanted to remain anonymous" you dont say. A nice quarter of a million, or more depending on the rarity/beauty premium, it is a nice shape.

    Another one that Eureka Moments missed. Found with a Minelab, a detection instrument designed and manufactured by a subsidiary of asx listed Codan Ltd (CDA).

    Too many are penny wise, pound foolish, and just flounder about with lesser brands; or old outmoded Minelabs. Just $7 grand or so will bring you up to speed with the new model, so you wont blunder across the field oblivious of the riches beneath.
