Thanks for the Birthday Wishes.....I had a Great morning panning and sent off my wreath.....the first dig point was a Log sitting in the middle of the Creek and two shovels sieved into a pan produced 7 small specks of Gold.
Every pan after that had 3 or 4 small fine specks not flour Gold but still very small, if I can get a good picture of the Gold found i'll post it.
I did a lot of walking and found tailing's along the creek, there is a lot of fine Gold there but you'd need a very good High banker that can catch everything to make it worthwhile digging for a day.
Going back next week to do more walking as I found an old creek bed which had a lot of brown dirt almost like RUST which means its been there a long long time.
I shoveled 1 scoop of what I could break off then had to crush it in the sieve which produced some bigger specks of Gold but will need a long steel bar to break it all up to then sieve and pan it.
Very awesome night spent with Family and a few Friends and now this young 43 yr old is ready for bed.
Cheers ....
Arthur....
