[QUOTE="Auric, post: 440312, member: 13104"] Greetings I am sure most people on the forum are familiar with McMahons creek in Vic. Nice spot except for the mozzies the size of cessnas. Anyway. I managed to find some clay towards an inside bend near the bank. Don't worry as a noob I know not to dig the banks. Ended up with a few flakes which was nice. Dug down about 2 feet or so. (Yep backfilled it) I have been told that bigger gold can be generally found towards the middle of any creek. So the plan was to pick a spot in the middle and dig down. However that was near impossible. Fist sized rocks and about a foot down were large boulders. So the question is whether it is worth scraping out loose material between the boulders or a waste of time, in that the gold is probably deeper. Should I just stick to the clay? :/ Cheers and Thanks.
