gold panning

I was told that gold could be found on the beach at Doctors Rocks, Tasmania. I thought it was a joke but went there anyway. And yes indeed, I found some small flecks, about as much as I found at Yackadandah the other week. Still, it felt like an unusual setting and a good bit of fun.

Had a lot of rain lately, and it's too flooded to get near my favourite local spots. I spent a while mapping the local road drains so today was an ideal opportunity to start testing them. Old mate and I spent a couple of pleasant hours sample panning one section today. Nice spot to work on a...
