Visited a few locales over the weekend sussing out the research. Left Adelong, right Tumba.

Creeks were up so digging was limited in places, bring on summer.

Hey folks ultra noob question, but the little red stones in gimps pan, what are they?? I seem to pan a lot of them around creswick, albeit not that big but I'm not sure whether they're garnet, quartz or zircon?? Or am i way off? Haha cheers guys and congrats on the results, Gimp!! Happy days! Heres my little collection of random odd stones so far

 

[Heatho]

Gimps are most likely zircons.

Had a few good hours with a pan at Bullumwaal today. Didnt get a lot, but quality was much better than my last few trips - these are round and heavy, not thin and light. I was cleaning out an underwater crevice that just kept going and going. Think 2 foot of yabby pump and then half way to the elbows.

After the recent rain there was finally enough flow for my little 6 Gold Rat sluice (I bought it a year ago, but its been too dry) so I put a couple of pans through it after lunch, and Im impressed. Probably no faster than panning, but it made for a nice break. And the dream mat caught anything worth keeping in the first 5 rows of cells. Im looking to build a little hopper/spray box so I can use it with a little electric pump all year around.

Just zoomed in on your photo. That sure is lovely gold, nicely shaped chunky gold :drooling:
Well done

 

[Eldorado]

Nice gold as Agman said nice and chunky.Hit that crevice again when it is dry Mediocritist,there has to be some nice gold hiding deep down in there.

 

[Joshlv]

Spent two days testing my new 12in sluice, nearly paid for itself. Is good to see some water flow.

 

[Mackka]

Very chunky pieces mate and great colour. Well done.

A few more tiddlers from Prospect Ck this afternoon. I had fun, but Im done with this spot; going to move back upstream where hard work is better rewarded.

 

[TheMediocritist]

Well, because this thread is quiet, heres what I got from two tiny cracks this afternoon. The picker weighs 0.08g.

Also got another of these small but very clear gemstones (top left). No idea what they are, but they go in a jar.

 

[Poida]

Went for a pan today, scratched out a couple of crevices.

 

[Sandta]
