[QUOTE="SWright, post: 38859, member: 1541"] Hi All I have finally talked my Home-Based-Manager-Accountant into going to Eldorado in January. I have never been there, other than to drive through it on our way to a cheese factory or winery and was not allowed to stop and have a pan or chat with a prospector. I was told once I got into that we would never get to the cheese factory or whatever. The question is, and not to get someones best spot, where should I go on Reedy Creek to get some decent gold. I have seen pictures on this and other blogs and it seems to be variably. In my region we generally go for good sized traps and down on the bottom but I have been told that the gold at Eldorado it is all near the surface and flood gold - like Oallen Ford. In have a small "stealth" highbanker (battery and bilge pump type) and pans and seives etc. I have also read that its probably not worth taking a detector. Any advice or pictures would be great. Maybe I will see some people from the forum there. Going 2 January to 15 January 2014. All the best Araluen [/QUOTE]
