[QUOTE="NickThadik, post: 240725, member: 5048"] Hey twapster! Went to Mudgee and picked up my new GS20 from central west prospecting on Saturday morning after a 3:45 minute drive from my place in Sydney! After picking it up and stopping in at think water to get some threaded reducers we headed to hill end bridle track. We stopped as soon as we got to the first sign of water as we were in a 2WD ute and didn't want to get stuck or pop a tyre. We set up camp and then took the gear down onto the dry river bed and set the pump up, the water wasn't flowing but the polls were big enough to feed the water, lots of green slime though!! We did a bit of digging and lifting larger rocks from football size river pebbles to stuff the size of car engines and got a bit but not much, just as we were packing up Sunday afternoon to come back a guy came over to us and told us that he lives just down the track from where we were set up and that he has looked just about everywhere and that the area has just been thrashed. We got around 40 flaked of gold for the 1 1/2 hours we ran the high banker That's all we had time for after we got it set up and figured out water flow and angles. Thanks for the information though mate really appreciate it. But for future we know not to go out there lol, better off sticking to the shoalhaven I think. [/QUOTE]
