[QUOTE="Geehi, post: 614526, member: 21138"] You have not mentioned whether this gully is in a known gold location. Are there old mines in the slopes above the gully, or is this virgin country? Also, are there any signs of previous workings in the gully? Reason I ask is that I am currently working two gullies that fit broadly into that which you have described. Normally dry gullies that would, at the moment, probably yield more Murray Cod than Gold. :) The surrounding area, in both instances and on both sides, is dotted with old mining activity. The gullies (currently creeks) have been heavily worked, and there are piles of dredge spoil everywhere (some of it not so old). Working the actual bed of each gully has proved fairly disappointing, but parts other than the bed have yielded promising results. [/QUOTE]
