5 Hours panning at Coles bridge

[MrPyro89]

Hey all,

Thought i would share a pic of todays efforts up at coles bridge, took the river sluice out for a test run to see how it performed, need to do some minor tweaks to it but overall happy with it!

There were a few people up there panning around the bend near the bedrock.

Not bad it's a bit more then I got my last time out to Coles Bridge. You go out there much should team up some time. I got a decent high banker.

I like to try to get out as much as i can whilst its warm and my partner and i are expecting child number 3 so another reason why im trying to get out as much as i can whilst i can, i live in bathurst so its about 30min drive roughly for me

I like to crevice up the hill a bit then put it through the high banker, I've not done very well digging in or near the creek. Dam it now I'm itching to get back out there

Also seeing as I just found put that high bankers have been made Illegal I haven't used mine since 2012, and looks like I wont be ever again for F--- sake. On the plus side I think I can modify it to be a decent sluice box or are they illegal too.

From my understanding its anything powered is banned e.g a high banker with either an electric pump or petrol pump is illegal but a river sluice is ok because it has no mechanical advantage.

Where abouts are you located?
