[QUOTE="Syndyne, post: 21513, member: 378"] Thanks kindly Heatho. That was definitely the time to be in the Adelong Creek. We had several friends there on and off panning with us around those early years and even though we were all working pretty close together, everyone did extremely well. The norm was around 15-20 good sized pieces/pickers in every pan along with the usual fines. I could only imagine what they washed across the falls and recovered via hydraulic sluicing back in the early years. Some of the mines in the surrounding hills haven't even been well worked as yet. Many were just left. The richest area of reef (still under lease) is just on the right heading out of town towards Tumut. It's the next hill across to the SE from where they have the restored stone miners hut today, just before you go through the road cutting. If only we could go back in time :) Kindest regards, Shauno.
