Try south of the Bookkeepers cottage. There are layers of clay in the creek that will hold the passing alluvial. Dig down and scrape horizontally along the top of the clay. Puddle that up in your pan.

Got some damage?

According to NAPFA in 2017 To our knowledge there has never been an infringement or prosecution, despite regular field inspection of activities by NSW Fisheries, Parks, DRE and local government staff. This further supports our view that the intention was never to curtail very low impact, short...

Didnt need to use a plastic scoop and keep pushing off half the dirt to find that one. ?

Yep EBay is flooded with poor quality batteries and shonky sellers. Maybe Battery World can order in what you want. At least you have some comeback and save the headaches. :/

Hi Glumbug. Plenty of places to choose from as long as you get out of the Sydney basin. Cant give you much advise on fishing so Ill leave that side of it for you to decide where to go. Having lived in Sydney I used to head west for gold to Hill End Sofala Windeyer (fish in the Turon?) Tuena or...

Welcome to PA Drevil.

That example is wrong from the first line!

A bit late at night to do the maths but I found this. I guess youve used the same formula. The Specific Gravity Test is used to calculate the gold content of gold nuggets that contain a mixture of gold and other materials. In this example of the specific gravity test, we use gold mixed with...

Forest Rd. East on Peg Leg track. North East on Lucknow Lead Track. Look for white sign on a tree southern side.

That's a high tech version of my `viewing tube'. Food for thought though with many waterproof cameras now available. There's potential there for a proper tool with current technology. :perfect:

Its not a Masonic badge from any blue lodge or rite that I recognise.

Panning sluicing or digging holes in a creek bed can be back breaking work. I was shown a technique from a bloke now in his 80s to get the alluvial gold with little effort. Maybe you use a similar method yourself but if you dont heres what we did. The creek has to be in the right condition...

Know a scammer when I see one. Dont waste your time in providing advice. Prospecting for something other than gold and gems. Mods should close this one down.

I normally metal detect for gold but it seems theres an easier way by alluvial prospecting. Just pick up the nuggets with a trowel and pan them out. I know its not this easy but I thought I would share a link for those struggling to find a colour. Just to wet your appetite...

Well done roxydog21. I reckon I detected one from the same area, years ago. It took me many hours to find it so you did well to get on to the larger pieces.

Thanks Roy. With 40 plus degrees forecast this week I think the only option is to head out early or give it a miss.
