Not much junk either which is nice! I wonder what would be hiding in the water itself for a dredge to find if these are just the nice big flat flakes that get thrown up when there's a good flood going through?! The photo is just what was found yesterday for a few hours detecting (0.98 gram total). Was miserable weather so chased me back to Chch where the sun's shining! gavin attached the following image(s):
