Orb spider

13.3 grams
Hi all, took off for 3 days and 2 nights prospecting an area that i was at earlier this year.
I didn't have any luck prospecting but i went over an old patch with the smallest coil i have and found more gold that i missed with the bigger coils.
I found 65 nuggets for a total weight of 13.3 grams.
On one of the days i heard a car heading towards me and as i was working next to a track i decided to head for the bushes as you don't want people to see you getting gold and as i was running i ran through a massive Orb spider web, if you could have seen me you would have had a great laugh, lucky for me the car didnt head down my track haha. cheers Stu
camp for a few days

  2. G,day Mia, these spiders are massive and their web is like running through a net instead of a web, they are so strong when walking under them you can lift them up like walking under a vollyball net and when you get caught up in one its panick stations haha.
