Just making a new thread to post future prospects and digging outings! The weather has come forth, sun starting to gleam and the waterways low - back into the action and start getting some color again!

Met up with Albundy today for a dig down a local creek and some recon to suss out a new location. Looking for bedrock, we trecked upstream ( we totally missed bedrock until returning to car ), managed to access a couple of areas where rock had been accumilating from the recent rains. First few pans were no show, so took to walking further upstream, hacking through the bush and finally hit a few specks resting in the first pans on a nice pointbar inside corner. We made this our resting place and dug for roughly an hour just enjoying being out in the sun and water. Each pan showing dusts of yellow, but all in all was awesome to get back into it again. Though one of us ended up wet arsed falling in the creek.. *cough* Al *cough*, it was a great reminder of how much fun it is to just go and have a dig, relax, even if the prospecting results are small. Great day mate, cheers!
Nice day, nice spot
Nugget in there somewhere..
Small.. but at least a trace ( plenty still stuck in the black sand )
