Cheers Secret Squirrels, that sounds fantastic, gonna have to read up on that somewhat. Also dunno if it's important but be careful giving away your GPS Co-ordinates to your gold mines :P

Sad that this needs to be said. I brought a few buckets back to base anyway to go through it. No gold, got some Gypsum crystals though.

I'll remember that one, sounds solid.

Sounds like good exploration, maybe being the first person to walk in new parts of the creek! That's about the same as my experience just yesterday. Finally got out and panned for the first time and in a non gold area, only thing I got was some iron sands, gonna start a collection of that :P

Some great tips about the lead, thanks! Just gotta wait for my pan kit to finally arrive, global shipping centre is taking ages :/

Don't know where to buy that sort of stuff, I feel I would need a gun license. Maybe I could use a bolt cutter to chop up a nail, I assume all metal is similar specific gravity.

Honestly it's not all about gold for me, crazy right? At the very least I get some heavies in the pan that aren't limestone and it gives me some panning practice, even leadshot would work for that. Getting any natural heavies would make it totally worth it for me and it would also help me...

I think it looks nothing like lands I've seen in prospecting videos, but I still want to try anyway.

Excellent, that is exactly what I wanted to hear, a realistic chance to find something/anything shiny, cheers.

Against my best judgement I've bought a gold pan kit and want to pan some random soil out on my parent's property. Being at least 100km from the nearest known gold I don't expect that, but is there anything neat I could come across? Thanks :) PS. If it helps, I live in the Riverland SA
