[QUOTE="SWright, post: 52368, member: 1541"] G'Day Everyone got in before me. Black Sand Creek flows into Reedy Creek from the north west, just above where Reedy creek crosses the Chiltern the Beechworth road. I have been reading up a bit on the geology and mining history of the area since getting back from there last week. It is worth a look I dare say but because it is largely in paster land it may no be good for prospecting - all clogged up - but well worth a look. the other thing is I think there has been little gold produced from there. The mining was more for tin - hence the name. Most of the creeks such as Black Sand and Clear Creeks that come off the Mt Pilot granite produced only tin. the gold came down Spring, Sheepstation and Reedy from Wooragee and Beechworth-Yack.
