[QUOTE="djpearson, post: 402762, member: 1415"] I still pan warrandyte from the car park and while everyone says its flogged i still get gold there every time. Andersons Creek is almost everyone's training ground in Melbournes north / east, easy to get to and close to city dwellers. plus its a lovely area. move away up or down from the car park and dig deep, look for natural rock placement (lines of bigger rocks) from flood rather than man built piles. try the bedrock crevices. scrape the top of clay layers, take the whole clay layer and brush or suck up against the bed rock. old gravel layers also exist that have practically turned to concrete and can be crushed up to release any gold deposited within. best hole i worked turned out at least 1.5 grams over a couple trips. nice flat flakes, a cpl pickers from the broken up gravels. i even used a suction tube & paint brush against the bedrock at the bottom to get it all. if you see me down there come over say hello, the black 4x4 on my profile stands out :) [/QUOTE]
