I've not done any test panning in this creek yet. It's on the periphery of the known gold area so may or may not hold gold. Although another creek I've got access to is in the same category and it produces good quantities of gold.I would be getting the wetsuit and tank on and get into that waterfall.
Hi Kiwifred I will be over there later this coming week. Catchup if wished and still there.
You might even spot a platypus there if you're very lucky!Out on the road on Friday and got the chance to run a few pans here. The creek has records of sapphire deposits but not at this location. I only gave it about 20min and didnt turn up a skerrick of a gemstone nor a flake of gold. Looks interesting though and worth more investigation. Sure beats sitting at a desk on a cracker of a day.
Good point. Some good habitat for them in this location, although the way I was stomping around there was Buckleys of me seeing one . Lots of the creeks I've been in recently have really healthy insect populations including caddis, stonefly, mudeye, damselfly and mayfly.You might even spot a platypus there if you're very lucky!
Only a weekend trip Foster.Hi Kiwifred I will be over there later this coming week. Catchup if wished and still there.
