you are getting close mate.. you may find the reef that the gold is shedding from.. good luck be with you...

took me older brother out yesterday . Had a great day watching a 50 year old jumping in the creek and reliving his childhood and also getting a bit of good colour

My little start to gold panning. David showed me how to do it last month and we've spent the few odd hours here and there over the past couple of months doing some research and having a look around. Now I've graduated to my own pan, while David has built his own high banker and tweaks and twiddles around with it.
Pretty happy with our finds so far!

Im jealous.....hahahaha

That is some nice bits of gold there.

Thought I'd better post the bit of gold that really got me excited about the hobby

Great work guys. Personally i haven't panned since I was 10 or so with the exception of sovreign hill earlier this year haha. Great to see all this colour

Conned the kids to go bush walking up the creek yesterday... took a while for them to realise my lovely green hat was really my pan lol....

Really getting good at conning kids to go panning... bought them some cheapie metal detectors to play with. First finds was $$- so they are motivated... told them they could help me at the creek.
My pan found only a little today, but David's high banker did a great job for a couple of hours run..



Loving this amazing summer weather for now- great to be outdoors! Cheers Jo

Great to see getting the kids out enjoying themselves . Keep at at it as hopefully you'll instill the sense of adventure of the quest for gold in them. Bloody hard to get mine out nowadays.

Good on ya guys, looks like you're having a wow of a time. That's what's it's all about aye?

Well done guys.

managed to get the young bloke out today for a pan. He actually taught me a lesson today, always check the sieve thoroughly. Was going to drop the contents when he asked to have a look . Dad I got a big one , yeah right sure enough there it was. .38 gram the biggest I've got panning .

Nice mate very nice. cheers

That's a cracka Bjay. Nice find indeed. Its got an interesting shape to it.
Kinda looks crystalish, with nice flat sides.

Found a few very small species to so I think this one may have been attached to quarts once.

Mate nice slug..... always worth dunking your sieve right under water and give it a good shake then when you dump it flip it over so you can see the heavies ive been there too.... seriously i tossed a 6.4 grammer when i first started panning an old bloke panned my tailings
