Davoe,
There are that many spots around the
places that start with "L" in which you could find gold, that it ain't funny. It amazes me the Specking Patch has been hammered fer years and yet still produces gold. Only two years ago, there was a patch found on the main track in, that yeilded several nuggets. The largest of these was about 3 ounces and yet we'd been drving over it for about 40 years! It was about 300 mtrs from the edge of the Nambi Road out of
Leonora, right on the first main
intersection of 2 main tracks, just below an
old mine shaft. I got 2 more peices of it after every one had finished with it.
Across the Nambi road from the Specking Patch is the Rabbit Warren - we got gold off it last year. Small - but gold nevertheless.
Then of course there's Wilsons Patch about 90 kms north of
Leonora. The bitumen road to
Wiluna cuts right through it. Again, it's still producing gold. These are
well known areas. I'm keeping the others to meself fer now ;)
Giood luck on yer trip
