Turon Report.

On the 7th of July we went out to the Turon River to test for some areas.
I first panned an area on the right side of the bridge but had no gold so we packed up and went to where the bedrock bars are. I did a pan under a rock and had a couple of specs in it. So I took half a bucket full of material and ran it through the new sluice. I did a clean out and had a good size flake.

After that was all finished I packed up the pan and seive and walked up to this area that had bedrock everywhere.

I decided to wait for the next trip to do a test pan here.

The sun was going down so I decided to walk back to the car and packed up everything except for the bucket and a couple of ziplock bags. And walked up to some crevices that I'd seen when coming into the camping ground. I got to the crevices and filled up the bucket and bags.

When I got home I panned the material for the following results.

Looks like I'll be back for the other crevices

Nice chunk, hope you have some good tools to make the job easier! Awesome looking river / creek though

This picture was a taken back in April, my wife and i were visiting a friends property out western NSW and he took us down to meet his mate who camped near a dry creek and did some fossicking. While we were there we helped him dig up a few buckets to run through his sluice, and this was the result.

 

[k man]

I'd be going back to dig a few more buckets mate, that's a ripper.

Good one!
I may be going, or already gone mad, but can anyone else see a tree on the left hand side of the pan underneath the lovely gold? Even a whole forest just above the waterline?
Regardless its purty!!
Nice work nucopia, that's a great photo and result.

Cheers,
Billy.

Beautiful country.

I do really like this shot. Really makes me want to be out there. Looks so relaxing. Finding yellow would be a bonus.

 

[nucopia]

Hahaha K man thats all I been thinking about since April ...getting back out there !
Would be good just for the learning experience.

[nem7902]

[OzzyDigga]

cleaned up 5 buckets of material from Ewingar near Drake NSW.

this was my first trip out to a known area, had the cons sitting around and decided to build a clean up sluice from cheap v matting from bunnings, a fishtank pump, and a 2ft plant box.

Nice work there OzzyDigga. Went to Ewingar a few months ago. Found a few specks. The black sand from there makes cleaning up a real challenge!!!

Hi all,
I posted this elsewhere on the site but thought I might add it here. This is from 3 bags of Diggertoms cons , see sponsors and for sale to buy. Got nearly 1.5 grams total. Great value and lots of fun for those cold winter days in the shed.
Cheers
Mark

thanks for the share Mark great looking gold mate, unfortunately Diggertom is neither a site sponsor or has his cons in the for sale section, hes welcome to sponsor up anytime. Turbodirt is available by our sponsor turbopan

AHHHHHHHHH i want a pan that looks like that lol literally i have never found over 3 specs of gold in my pans around adelaide, and i mean even after panning out the sluce i still only had one or two grains and its even the same story for my mate we must be doing something wrong

 

[G0lddigg@]

Hi Phat,

SA is terrible for gold...at least in the SE of the state. Not sure how far for you but I have to hike 2.5hrs to Ararat to get to my nearest goldfield but the results are always better than 3 specks in the pan.

You should try and make the ballarat meet getting planned for September

 

[G0lddigg@]

there he is

 

[Colmaca]

Started a new hole this trip I think I'll be digging some more
