Nice gold and well done. I'm sure somewhere on the forum the devils dice has been mentioned before. it's on here somewhere.

Re: Balla Balla trip.
Devils dice are cubes. Good indicator for gold in a lot of areas especially the Pilbara. Those ones are magnetite crystals. Another good indicator for gold.

Re: Balla Balla trip.
ktown, I was searching your topics to find out about your 2m coil when I read this thread. I was working at cape lambert last year and I heard about the pipeline finds. I studied the area for rdo trips. they have been building a new powerline corridor including land clearing for towers between Karratha and cape lambert. they started clearing from both ends and I was waiting for the clearing between Kim Norths lease and cleverville rd where I obtained a section 20a but didn't happen in my time there I did however become an expert at finding bits of grader blade after every big rock I also learnt that it takes a bit of time for ground noise to settle after grading. Today I heard that a bit of gold has been found around Karratha lately I only put two and two together that I bet you it is along this works. I am due for a trip and wouldn't mind going back up to golden valley its nice to go to the spot I know and spend a week there instead of a few hours on an rdo but its a bit far and there are many spots between perth and karratha, the only thing is homework and finding them. goodluck
yella stuff
Re: Balla Balla trip.
what do devils dice look like- round balls made up of little squares?
yella stuff
Re: Balla Balla trip.
Hi Yella
Mate i have some of them balls, they're Pyrite nodules, some call em Pyrite bombs.
Was told they are worth a few quid too.

Re: Balla Balla trip.
I saw many of these when we were building the shitfarm for jimblebar mine (newman)smashed one open and it had a little ball in the center like a magnet that attracted the crystals. I should have been a squiral and gathered the nuts... I had one guy convinced they were metiorites.
yella stuff
Re: Balla Balla trip.
I was having a yarn with the fella working with me at the time and he has a few at home still, he said he hacksawed one, it was so hard to cut and the core was like a white powder. I was more suttle with mine and just smashed it with a sledgie - gently with two arms .

Re: Balla Balla trip.
Great finds again k-town. I camped out at balla balla earlier in the year looking for gold, i wasnt real sure where abouts out there it had been found so kinda went out there winging it, needless to say didnt find a thing-looks like i may have to revisit!

Re: Balla Balla trip.
