[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 142864, member: 2152"] The reason I asked about the gold and colors is what is [i]typical[/i] of the area? Having a good idea of [i]type[/i] of deposits is going to go a long way to help. The creek pics look a lot like Eldorado but the gold occurrence there is flour gold, at high levels. Sure finding a good spot is worth paying attention to defined theories but anyone can go and shovel enough volume through to take something home. In other creeks where larger bodied gold is likely you need to define the search area into finding pockets of accumulated deposits. I would definitely sample pan where the previous diggings have been often people won't shovel crazy amounts without [i]some[/i] degree of color. If you have any trouble understanding what I wrote mate I can put up some hand drawn pictures. The line between bends is a figurative line, just being aware of where is likely to run should be enough. Funny old thing gold some days are easy some days not. Sample enough areas (persistence) and it will pay off. [/QUOTE]
