[QUOTE="Peter111, post: 163396, member: 5416"] Hello Phil, This is an interesting passage. At that time I knew a fellow that lived on one end of the Adelong Bridge near the Adelong Caravan Park that undertook the prospecting method you described with the scuba diving gear. I saw a jar nearly full of coarse fines too. His family ran the Adelong Caravan Park then. This was the Whiting family. I knew the Whiting family well. For privacy reasons, I will not mention the fellows first name that undertook that prospecting method you described. There was black mud along the Adelong Creek banks in the vicinity of the area of the Adelong Caravan Park, where you are referring to and gold would lodge itself into the black mud. The fellow with the scuba diving gear would get in around the black mud bank and loosen up the black mud bank by kicking and digging the black mud bank underwater, to open up the black mud areas. Cheers Peter :) [/QUOTE]
