Gold Nuggets DuketonAwesome - Its Gold Nugget Hunting season again at last.What we have been doing is travelling around the Goldfields of WA, prospecting on a few Section 20a sites like Duketon out of Laverton and Cue and finding some nice Gold. AND...We are hearing from people on our travels about other gold nuggets still being found. Its a real buzz out there meeting prospectors and seeing the numbers of people just enjoying living the hard fought for heritage of prospecting rights of Australia.... Prospecting in the WA Goldfields.
Gold Nuggets Being FoundThere has been a few gold nuggets found up Cue and Meekatharra way.An 8 ouncer was found near Cue and Udo picked up a nice 3 1/2 ouncer as well all in the last month.
Check That Metal Detector Hole!
Its great to get out there and interestingly enough I found some nice gold specimens in a quartz leader - about 1.3kg of specimen rock with visible gold in the quartz. Those rocks have since been dollied out at over 4 ounces plus some nice quartz and gold nugget specimens... ... IN A HOLE THAT HAD BEEN DUG AND FILLED IN BEFORE! I was delighted, but also sad that after all that hard work someone left a hole in a Quartz Leader for whatever reason. That hole was making enough detector noise to wake up the sleeping goannas for miles around. I will post a video of it in a week or so and advise the link through the website and Facebook.

But remember - check every metal detector noise if you are not sure what it is - go to this page if you are not sure about Metal Detecting techniques.
Selling Your GoldThere has been a lot of requests for information on how to sell gold. This has been more evident recently because many new people are trying metal detecting and using the new Minelab 5000's and finding some small gold. There are many ways you can get ripped off by merchants like those that buy gold at shopping centres so, dont get caught!. This page will give you some ideas (maybe some with a twist!) and contacts for selling your gold if you need some help.
