Last couple of trips to my local creek, it's hard work convincing the gold to come out of the slatey bedrock cracks but at least it's usually a bit coarser than most spots round here.

Good ground last season
Still working out how to post pictures
Long story short is I worked a small hole in a local creek .
Ive have probably walked over this spot a few times as it didnt stick out , you know inside bend blah blah blah .
But it was about in the middle of the hole and what I found by accident was there was a large ledge under the gravel running across the stream , I first thought it was a large rock under the gravel only to find it was the top of a ledge ,
I quickly gave a few pumps with yabbie pump and was shocked to find a good quality of gold , I worked this maybe 3x3m area for a few weeks , I could only do 4hrs panning a day as it wrecked my back . I didnt have a sluice or a high banker .
Most days I would get in those 4hrs 4 to 6 grams with a few days at around 8.
No mustard gold its all pretty course gold .
Counted I had about 120pickers from this one spot ,a few around .35g. So not huge

Anyway thats my once in a while find .
Maybe pics work Im not sure and a few vids
I really missed the good stuff with video at how rich it was . I was just picking up a handful of gravel and could see the gold In it

They are burning off near me in Sydney . There is no gold to be found , maybe a skeleton or two ......

Bit of back yard panning today, about 4 litres of dirt, been in a bucket in the shed for a year or 3 pretty sure I know where its from by the the little red rocks that were in it and no Saphs

Good to get some colour but no where near as enjoyable as doing it in the bush.
