I have, only a small section that I could find where it would be allowed. Was absolutely no water when i went so just dug a bucket of dirt from a few spots and took it home, got 3 specs. The place was a mess where I was, open holes, piles of tailings, someone had been breaking up the bedrock...

says so on the dpi website under the list of rivers and creeks exempt from prospecting. doesn't stop people, just be smart about it if you're gonna go there I guess. And make sure you have your miners right on you at all times. I only started panning a couple months ago so still learning myself.

good luck :) just to clarify, dogs are allowed along the yarra river at warrandyte, but panning the yarra is officially off limits. however andersons creek where it is legal to pan the creek bed, dogs are not allowed.

No dogs allowed. Yeah will let you know next time I'm heading down. Won't be anytime soon though, heading up north for a pan and some camping for easter with the family :)

Been there a few times, find small specks in every pan. Nothing too impressive but it's not bad for this close to the city. Found this in an afternoon with just a shovel and a pan...

Oh, well we're gonna head there anyway even just to enjoy the camping. Hopefully some of this rain is reaching up there this week :)

Anything water running in reedy creek at Eldorado? Planning to go up for couple days near easter for a bit of a family camping trip with some gold panning :) Never been before though. But if it's just a couple stagnent pools of water may go somewhere else to enjoy the camping and forget the...

worked a treat, cheers.

thanks mate, will give it a go.

For arguments sake I'm sucking up sand yabbies. Anyway, I bought a new wilson bait pump yesterday which worked fine in the store but as soon as I used it in the water it started squaking and carrying on with ear pearcing squeals. Needless to say it completely ruined the serenity :p Having only...

Was good fun mate, good to meet ya.

Keen to get my gold fix for the week :p hopefully the rain holds off.

Nice size pieces, wish I could find some like that :p

Duncan still at miners den. Got into an over hour long conversation with him not long ago. Then again 2 weeks back he caught me at Andersons creek and we had another chat, very knowledgeable.

Yeah been having the same problem with the mercury. I just been chucking it in a pan over a flame and letting it evaporate off. Can't see the harm aslong as ya dont go sticking your face directly over it :p

Andersons creek in warrandyte. been going there the last few weeks, plenty of water and colour.

Yeah mate, in warrandyte. Ok no worries saturday arvo it is, shall we say 4pm in the gmr carpark? Will only be able to do an hour or 2 as got a birthday that night, but if that's cool I'll see you then :)

Hey beagleboy. When do you think you'll be out there next? I was gonna go back either tuesday school hours or next weekend. Would be good to meet you and hopefully can get a few pointers :)

Thanks greg, good video will give that a try. ramjet maybe it's technique but for starters there is not much black sand at all to begin with, but if i swirl the pan i can see the tiniest of grains of gold in with it, but as i try to pan down to just black sand i find before i get there all ive...
