[QUOTE="AussieChris, post: 440388, member: 4915"] Outside bends? Do creeks work differently down Mexico way? Look for the low pressure zones on the Inside bends, behind boulders, tree roots, think about where the flood zone would be look for clues in trees for flood levels, could be good gravels well above where the creek naturally runs in usual conditions, gold will drop out in a tear shape behind the best looking low pressure zone, it wants to drop out at the first opportunity. Middle of the creek sometimes works when massive boulders populate it, otherwise its running pretty quick through there mid flood. Hunt out the bedrock, work the crevices in it, work the gravels behind drop offs and where you see large rocks dropping out. Mick is right, keep test panning. When you start getting 15-20 colours in a pan you know you need to start sluicing/highbanking Good luck :goldpan: [/QUOTE]
