[QUOTE="BoydWilliam, post: 6138, member: 227"] Hi all, I'm relatively new to the prospecting scene. I recently purchased a sluice, and have taken it out and dug a few holes in the riverbed of a creek close to home. Yesterday whilst digging in the creek, i was coming across a LOT of quartz. Each time i classified my dirt/sands, i was finding heaps of pieces of quartz ranging from fingernail size to tennis ball size. After processing 5 or 6 buckets of dirt/sands down my sluice, i still found nothing. I was reading online that if you find quartz, its a good sign that gold could be nearby. Is this true? Should i concentrate on digging the embankment of the creek rather that the actual creek bed itself? Its all just a bit confusing for me at the moment! [/QUOTE]
