[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 101244, member: 2976"] Still waiting for my first decent find. I know the good bits are there because I've seen them in the collections of other people who dig there. This bit was about the best bit and it's too shattered to be a cutter - maybe a very small stone could be cut from it, dunno. [img]https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3923/15036871377_1efbdf46ef_c.jpg[/img] No real shortage of the stuff there, just finding a [b]good[/b] bit is the trick. [img]https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3851/15036883297_96648b4350_c.jpg[/img] But I have a feeling that every hole I have dug is ground that has already been dug over - the place is so heavily dug it's hard to tell where hasn't been dug. Next time I'll start a new hole out on the edge of the diggings and see how I go. A throw sieve is definately the go in this loose, sandy stuff. [img]https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3906/15200256256_b2e4c16239_c.jpg[/img] It would actually be a nice spot to camp down beside the creek there. Not sure if you're allowed to though. Ti-tres in flower along the creek.. [img]https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3879/15036937628_3dcc61d6f0_c.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
