nice work buddy

whats your junk to gold ratio there ?

30:1 ?

50:1 ?

Junk isn't so bad, today i picked up maybe 9 bits of junk and 3 nuggets.. then after the 3 nuggets, i moved down the gully, and picked up about 15 bits of lead shot.. pain in the arse.

Got out again today, nothing but trash, and a 2 foot hole someone else left open, big rusted pick head at the bottom, i refilled it..

No gold, just a bunch of bullets, copper jacket off something 30 cal.. and a 3-9x40 scope someone lost (cheap knock off tasco)

Great vid Balx! Funny I just bought an Angus McKirk as well .... same sentiment, got tired of lugging pump, hoses & high banker ..... also much more serene experience without the sound of the pump buzzing in the background. Hope to head out your way in the Spring.

Cheers

Drewe.

Thanks for the vid Balx, a quick question if I may? Does it catch the gems or do they bounce out? I'm thinking about getting the grub steak sine we have a little less water up this way

It will catch tiny ones, not sure how it would go with decent size ones, although they did use a mackirk to catch rubies on Ice cold gold i think I read that on their website. Check it out angusmackirk.com cheers Balx PS yep they used the "long Tommy"

Thanks for bunging up an other vid Balx.
They keep the fever going for us that don't get to go out that often.

I woulda thought Heartattack Track would have been too greasy to get up again? Obviously not.

Nice looking colours you got

Nice work Blax. Where is your little co-star, haven't seen him out for a while.
Obviously the sides of that gully are still shedding some good gold.
That gully would have seen some attention back in the day and you can only assume the chunkies you are getting are recently shed.

Young bloke has started kinder so I go on kinder days. Also hard for him in the winter as it takes about 7seconds for him to decide it's swim time. Not only did the old timers work that creek it was was dredged in the 80's also. Spoke to a bloke that did really well there and was surprised I was getting anything. Just shows how active the erosion is. Cheers Balx

Spent a week up at Eldorado for the school holidays this is from the 3 days I had the kids up there. Wasnt looking promising when we got there, she was roaring. Such a great place to camp, plenty of animals to have a look at. Got some decent gold, even tried to drop it back in the creek as you will see. Cant believe how fine the gold is that the Mackirk will still grab.
