Thx guys, Thought I'd made the right choice!!! Love the comment about the wife's rings & a great idea. LMAO Will most likely head to Waffle Flat in a couple of weeks I've just heard from a mate that a 128g nugget was found out at Kings Plains near Blayney, so will do some homework & book a day...

Gday All, Well after panning, crevicing & river sluicing for twelve months, Ive bitten the bullet & purchased a detector. Bought the Gold Monster 1000 As a starter detector & learn the art. Could do with a few suggested areas around the Bathurst Area. A mate detected a 1.7g Specie at Ophir about...

I purchased the smaller crevice pump. Great for getting into tight spots and has plenty of suction Works like a charm & great price. Arrived two days after I played for it. Recommend these pumps?

This is the area I found for my first crevicing day. Absolutely Beautiful part of Mid Western NSW. As you can see soooo many places to work in, I reckon twenty people could all fit in this area, all find a good amount of flood gold and not encroach on each other. There's also a large area...

Love to have some company Neil The weather will be a lot kinder in about one to two months for those not from the Bathurst/Sofala area. It's still pretty cold with sub zero temps in the morning. Personally I really enjoy the cold as you Don't get over cooked when you're working. The bush is...

This is the crevice I worked. I think I got most of the gold out, however at the base on the right of the picture I think the narrowest part did a dogleg back under & I couldn't get to this small area. Any suggestions for my next crack, so to speak, I'm pretty sure the best pan would be in this...

Heyah , modern technology, uploaded my pici. Thanks for the help folks ? This is the result from my first pan from my first crevice ever. Needless to say I was stoked...... Scratched & dug around in the one large crevice for about 2.5 hrs, barred a few loose side pieces off & used a selection of...

G'day All. Spent a few hours at "Coles Bridge" near Turondale yesterday. Did a bit of crevicing & found about twenty colors. Thanks to the members who offered great directions & advice, ( luv this forum) met a couple who are also members, Ken & his missus, out for a spot of crevicing also...

Great info nucopia, appreciate your sharing. Good directions. Have seen u tube videos on "Coles Bridge" I think its called, near Turondale I have a 4x4 so will definitely get to the areas you've mentioned It's only a 45 min drive from home so nice and close. Will probably head out on Friday &...

G'day All, Hoping to get out next week & try my new crevicing pump & do a little panning. Was looking at the Turon River where Tanwarra Creek enters it near Sofala or Mitchell's Creek at Sunny Corner ( never been to Sunny Corner) Any past experience or suggestions welcome ? Mountainman

Will do Mungoman :Y:

Cheers Tathradj & as5672 will do more homework. My missus & I are fairly new to fossicking & have only been to Hill End four times so far. We live in Bathurst now so am central to the NSW goldfields. Flour Aluvial gold (plenty of it) is good to start us off @ H/End with a specci & a good picker...

G'day All, am hoping to hear off to Tuena in the next few weeks. Have done a little homework & as far as I can figure, Tuena Ck just off Mount Costigan Rd & Limestone Ck seem to be the best spots. Any advice or tips welcome. Will only be panning for my first trip ? The pici's & YouTube videos...

Excellent mbasco. Cheers I'll look them up Mountainman

Thx occasional planner. Yeah, have a great spot in NSW, produces really well as long as the effort is put in. Mountainman ;)

Wow, Thanks to all. A few things to consider then. I do get pretty sore & weary after a few hours of sluicing/panning. Combining detecting with sluicing sounds like a pretty good way of breaking the day up, particularly as Summer this season is predicted to be a scorcher. I'm around the Bathurst...

G'day All, so here it is, do I fork out many thousands of $$$ to go Detecting or stick to , what I reckon, is good old reliable alluvial panning??? Have not had a Gold Free Day yet with panning/sluicing; however have been told by detectors, days or weeks can go by digging up nails, shotgun...

As the others suggest, travel times depend on traffic. 4 hours out of Sydney heading west will give you Sofala, Hill End & Turondale. Heading South, Braidwood is a good quiet area. Both are known alluvial regions with plenty of quiet , secluded panning areas. Big finds are made but kept fairly...
