JonD Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Headed out for my morning dog walk with my son who wanted to try gold panning!!!! Left him in a creek while I wondered around checking out the fantastic fungi. When I came back 30mins later the nugget had found a nugget!!!!!…almost enough to fill his car with petrol. Went back this evening to see if the fungi was the glowing kind and sure enough it was 🙂 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big Neil Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 As always Jon, fantastic photos of some unusual pursuits. If it's not a secret, where were you walking the dog? bn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankS Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Jon. That nugget would make a fantastic necklace just as it is tiny hole drilled in it and gold chain . My Nephew has one 3 times that size he found in Ophir some years back. Frank Here's what I ended up doing with my gold pan, turned it upside down glued a spray can lid on it and turned it into a bird bath. Shows MY luck with gold panning.

Looking forward to exploring some of the country between the beaches and into the coastal ranges. Bushwalking and maybe chasing bass. Might have to invest in a pan for a bit of prospecting as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherlady Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Congrats to your Son on his find. Totally mesmerised by the photo's of the fungi! Have to admit, I've got a bit of a soft spot for fungi... Yabby is cute too. Looks like a really nice spot for walking the dog! Thanks for sharing the pictures. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
