[QUOTE="Dron, post: 425458, member: 7074"] Hi Katie, What sort of gear are you looking at? What are you planning on fossicking for and what are your fossicking goals? If you are chasing gold then AFAIK the greater Sydney basin is devoid of gold. Which means driving. The Shoalhaven River is only a few hrs drive from Picton or if you cross over the Blue Mountains there are a lot of options around Bathurst or Oberon. Oallen Ford is about a 2hr drive. My tip for panning is watch YouTube videos. I used to practise panning in a plastic tub and then re-pan the tailings until I was sure I wasn't losing any gold. You can also throw 3 bits of lead shot into your pan and then if your technique is good you should still have 3 in your pan at the end! [/QUOTE]
