[QUOTE="AussieChris, post: 409553, member: 4915"] From my understanding, at least how I took it, there is a pay/wash layer down that way all through Vulcan state forest and surrounds. There are some small creeks/rivers that are intermittent at best. I'm guessing Nicko intends to wash gravel in/from some of the more reliable creeks rather than cart pay ==> water ==> pay. Like I said earlier if you cant find zircons there is something wrong, but you cant expect large sapphires hand over fist. Although the ones you do find are very pretty and remarkably clear. I know myself that even puddles of water can be a godsend down there. I have a couple of 40L portable tanks I got cheap at a garage sale, they sure come in handy.
