Following in the footsteps of Colmaca and Twapster, here is my effort for Easter, HB'ing the creek on our farm. Thanks Twapster for the idea of a cupcake paper.
Almost all of it is fine/flour gold with a few bits of medium (-12/+20 mesh), plus one little coarse bit (0.05g). All but the coarse bit are well worn.
The little coarse bit is quite rough and has not travelled very far at all.

Have found flood gold all the way down to the clay bed. Now to extend my digging to find more coarse bits down on the clay layer.
In this photo, I sampled down about 12 inches into the gray clay in the crevice but came up with nothing. I am not sure if I have the drive to excavate to see what lies beneath these large river boulders and the clay layer. I dug a test hole into the clay nearby and went down a metre into gray clay and then orange clay without striking bedrock.
This the same digging as in my previous 'show and tell' post - a great little spot, only 30m from my tent. Just me, goats, roos, birds, and the odd snake.
So much more digging to do.
