[QUOTE="Iceman8888, post: 563763, member: 18822"] Hi all, New to this forum. This is my First post. Only been panning for a couple of years, I too have lived in Victoria for over 5 years from the UK. Be good to chat sometime to fellow UK prospectors, well and anyone on here. lol I have learned from an old timer who has done it for years. He knows how to get gold. As far as Warrandyte goes, I pan there regularly, only finding a few flakes here and there, trying new methods to get better and elevating my probability of getting better pans. I have found learning panning is not too hard, refining it comes with experience, but reading the creek is much harder, getting better over time and learning where I get the best gold. Looking at the rules, its already been discussed, Yarra River is totally banned, and so is the tributaries above the Plenty River which is near Templestow. So effectively, any creeks in Warrandyte are banned UNLESS they are in the state park, always found it hard to find the borders of the Park, so I currently just stick to the common spots to be safe. Be good if anyone could let me know the edges we are allowed up to. So thanks for any replies, Ill be posting many more. [/QUOTE]
