[QUOTE="Marked, post: 26856, member: 1246"] The Mitta River kept one branch of the family eating during the great depression - even found published takings in the gold reports of the Argus. There is plenty of fine gold to be found in both the Mitta Mitta and Snowy Creek catchments. As a first time panner, found a speck or two in nearly every pan on a recent family trip (didn't know a whole lot about concentration on that trip). To make it worthwhile, knowing where the natural concentration occurs would be essential, from what I have heard from the locals. Also, from what I have been told, fossicking has dropped off a lot since the banning of dredging; achieving decent volumes may be more trouble than they are worth via manual excavation methods. Have also see a small nugget or two retrieved from the area, but word was that they didn't come from surface material. [/QUOTE]
