[QUOTE="jethro, post: 39390, member: 1297"] A good starting point at Eldorado is the ford across the creek ( Kangaroo crossing ) about 5 kms above the town. Best to try and walk upstream from there and see if you can get away from vehicle access tracks as these areas have been worked very hard over the last 20 years since the last really good flood. Look for crevices in the granite that have hard packed material in them and work these. Also test pan across the stream flow to see if you can locate a gutter or pay streak that carrys better gold & tin. Tin is the heavy black sand that you end up with in the bottom of the pan that also makes getting the gold into a corner almost impossible in this creek. My advise would be to carry a poverty pot and put your concentrates in that & deal with them when you get home. Around the chinese gardens which ar downstream from the crossing used to be good too. however they are easily accessed so would have had a flogging. [/QUOTE]
