My understanding is that you basically snorkel the creek looking in crevices, cracks etc for small nuggets

The sdc, and gpx 4500 if you buy them second hand you can generally resell at a very minimal loss, so the upfront expense is more like a savings stash ?

Maybe the blue reflecting off the silver? From the pan

I always look at redcastle on the map, i did some reading about it a while back and the one bit that stuck was apparently only one side of the creek had gold, the best way is to just get out and give it a crack, if you find nothing youll at least have improved your digging skills ;)

Here is photo from the inside, that brand though, starter pistols Ive always said I shouldve grown up 40 yrs earlier hahaha

Might have to have a gander at the Olivers, thanks fellas

I cant find any photos of a dry washed pile, Im assuming it wasnt because of the amount of dust in the heap, I think it is a costean. I was just curious because the other mine I mentioned had its own costean that finishes about 1 mtr before the shaft. I will be making a basic dolly from an old...

I forgot to mention in the trench wall there were quite a few quartz veins

Hey guys long day out at Heathcote today, the usual bullets/ 22 casings. I have question regarding the assortment of holes I came across. When the old timers dig a hole were they trying to reach bedrock and find the vein? Example theyve come to a gold bearing area see a minor hill or something...
