[QUOTE="DrDuck, post: 444246, member: 158"] A/C I reckon the best bet after a big flood is where lots of material has been shifted. There will be new deposits of fresh gravel, and areas where surprising amounts of gravel have been shifted, exposing bedrock that has been buried for a long time, or at least has only a shallow covering. I've seen this happen at Tuena. Back in the early 70's, when I was about 15 i went to Oallen, and walked downstream from the crossing, and much of the area was exposed bedrock. Now, of course, it consists of an extensive sand and gravel bar. I met an old bloke with an iron pan who told me that he did OK. Those with a long memory will know of him, apparently he walked into Marulan or Goulburn every once in a while to cash in some gold and pick up supplies. [/QUOTE]
