How far along the creek are you allowed? Might head out there this weekend if the weather is ok

Everyone is a rookie at some point and doesn't take long to get into the groove. No need to head far from the bridge to find something just pick a spot and wash some rocks! Pick a boulder and get in under it and scoop out some dirt. A few test sieves....if nothing...move a few metres and do it again.
Even just a pair of gloves.....you can scratch around and find gem stones, obviously if you find a nice little run of spinel....likely a gem stone will be around that area. Good luck. Take some pics and post the adventure here when u get back.
No harm in chatting with the land owner and asking for permission to get to some other spots but not necessary if you stick to the bridge area and walk a little upstream.

Thanks for the advice I have been watching all the you tube videos from liz and wal and reasearching indicators and things to look for. I will take pics and put together a story I think so I can look back on it.
See you guys on the other side.
