Nothing wrong with that mate, that's a decent showing. Whatever your doing is working! Good share, can't wait to see the next result.

I went up to Reedy Creek for the day yesterday. Was there for about 6-7 hours. Didnt really know where to dig as every pan showed colour so just moved around a bit digging several locations.

I had heard that the gold is fine up that way but wow. Half my gold was floating whilst I was taking care of the cons. And tons of black sand which made cleaning the cons a right pain the the ass.

All in all it was a great day (besides the sunburn) and I'm keen to go back and maybe camp out for a night or two.

Not the greatest haul considering the time I put in, but I'm happy nonetheless.

Nice finds mate, always great to come home with yellow

 

[bmzgold]

know just what you mean pot of gold, about it floating, got to make sure you have that bottle of detergent with you (phosphate free and enviro friendly of course)

PotOfGold,

That looks like a good days panning to me. Its tough going. Results will improve when you truly understand where the gold lies in the creek, river.

POG, Reedy creek can be a tough dig. Not to long ago a bloke pulled 13 grams for two days. All flour but good gold. A few regulars have posted, the best thing about the place is the certainty, the downside can be volume. I dug at a very juicy crevice on my trip home, glass a few inches down, 15 pellets to a pan a few inches more, and didn't do any better out of that hole than any where else along the creek. If I did that locally, picked the right spot and had those indications that the heavies would be there then better gold would come. I think due to the nature of the gold there volume is key.

You got a good showing of color. You can be well proud. Good share.

Here are some photos of our trip to Adelong.

The gold here is a bit larger than beechworth gold but the amount of black sand is insane its everywhere in the creek, didn't get the banker out just scooped behind some rocks and panned. We got this from the creek beside the caravan park, Also panned out a 1914 threepence.

Might have to stick with reedy ck as it's easier to find, not much access to Adelong ck unless you do some door knocking.

A couple of pans from an old spot but a different section. Cam lock on the pump split so I'll be back to highbank tomorrow with any luck. It is a bit hit and miss but if you can move enough dirt its all chunky.

Hi all, did some mods to the high banker & wanted to test it out. Also got a 5hp honda/Davey pump to supply me with the tons of water to blast clay.
New (to me) spot & was happy with result & will b back for a better crack once it cools down n there's more water around. Recirculating water from stagnant sections of creek sucks.

 

[bourbon]

Just a couple of photos of what I've cleaned up from reedy ck over the Xmas break, total is 6.2 grams

Recirculating water from stagnant sections of creek sucks.

Hear you there Ag Man, had to pull one of my pumps down from recirculating water, the thing was crammed full of shrimp,
Shrimpatties anyone!!!
Memo to self, don't forget the strainer next time :lol:

 

[Wally69]

Nice gold guys, I was starting to think no one was digging holes. Good to see some colour flowing.

Please keep it up as I have been subject to family commitments and need your golden photos to keep the dream alive.

Shoalhaven is one of the hardest tests of a sluice / highbanker , if you can learn how to dial one in there to catch fine gold you can win gold almost anywhere else.

 

[Oldfella]

Nice gold, looks more than 0.15g

 

[Twapster]

Nice gold, looks more than 0.15g

Oallen gold is very pretty in the pan, just not usually very heavy! lol

I've started on my wet prospecting adventures properly now. Still not sure if I'm doing everything right, much more testing still to happen.
