Hello everyone,
My family surprised me with a birthday trip to Eldorado/Beechworth next week. I have never done much research on the area and only have a few days until the trip. I am mainly interested in finding gems eg. agate, sapphires, tourmaline, quartz but of course I can't say no to gold. Mainly interested in things that can only be found far away from Melbourne.
I'm not asking for secret locations or anything, but I would like some pointers on where I should go.
Also, to find these gems, do I just use my sieves above my pan to catch any gold?
Thank you so much, I would be completely lost without the members of this forum.

In the creek bed, up on the flood zones, in the banks of Creek. Mainly quartz etc, sapphire once in a blue moon. Not often. More gold than crystal. You xan go to moralla for crystals
