some nice chunky bits they got there, they must have had ear to ear grins :lol: . Good Karma for thursday i reckon
got out for 20 minutes drywashing last night in a gully ive been exploring. This areas is a flat spot in otherwise descending country perfect for gold to drop out think Ive found some good ground. These little bits of gold are enough for me to go a little deeper Fingers crossed... watch this space
Nice find GD, especially for 20 minutes work!

Suggest you put a couple of loaming holes along this line before going deeper. Hope your on a winner.
Cheers,

Hey grant thanks for the red lines
I actually dug a pit 3 feet down just behind the log inline with your red indicator. I punched throught clay some big quarts hit sandstone for about 300mm then grey clay again. .. very unusual for this area. Possibly tgis area has been pushed and filled at some point in tge past 50 years.

Spent 2 hours at Hoddles Creek this morn. Got a decent amount considering I forgot my shovel so had to dig by hand. Crikey...bad move.

Spent the day at my gold spot yesterday digging up nails and bullets in the gullys and hills with quarts reefs shedding, still no gold from the detector so I moved down to the creek to high bank which was dry with only a few shallow puddles barely deep enough to run the pump, and kept sucking grass and crap up blocking the intake strainer and my spraybar so after about 10 to 15 buckets of dirt I gave up frustrated.
Managed to take home a little colour though

Nice effort mate that bloody grass is a pain in the spray bars
Love seeing the gold well done mate, keep it coming.
well done mate, keep it coming.
Didnt get out today but found a bucket of sand and gems which looked suspiciously like a forgotten concentrate. Two scoops and found this little picker... cant wait to run that bucket throught the cleanup sluice tomorrow

Awesome mate, I threw a few handfuls of sand that was on the ground near my panning bucket through my little sluice yesterday and expecting nothing was surprised to find a flake and a round iron stained ball of gold. Not sure how it got there as it would have been panned at least once before.....might need to do re run all my tailings I think

Yesterday's efforts from highbanking at the creek on the family farm.
This stuff came from the hole in the second photo. We had a severe thunderstorm there in mid-Jan which dumped 75mm of rain in less than no time, and caused a flash flood. Creek level rose 2 metres, going over the right hand bank in the second photo (looking upstream). You can see a clear line of stones extending from the hole to the bottom right of picture. The flood gold was in the top 6 inches along this line, but petered out about where the crowbar is.
.
I did many test pans all around this particular spot, and was surprised as to how localised this flood gold was. Less than 1 metre in any direction from the centre of the hole and little gold to be found.
Moved a large rock from the hole hoping to find more gold underneath ... but zilch.
I just wish I could find where the pickers, if there are any, dropped out of the flood. Countless test pans in the creek yielded very little colour, let alone pickers.
The flood moved many large boulders and a few large trees as well. I'll be kept busy in the coming months re-exploring the entire creek looking for new 'good spots'.
