[QUOTE="DrSluice, post: 503858, member: 15946"] Hi All, I am very new to the prospecting game and have a few questions regarding panning in dry creek beds. I am panning at a mountain just west of Mackay with a few dry creek beds running off it (has been known to contain gold), the one in particular i was dry panning yesterday was very narrow (1.5-2 metres wide) and had a rocky bottom with clay/gravelly sand base directly underneath. My question is am i wasting my time digging here? As soon as i move the rocks to start digging i am straight into a damp clay bed (with the knowledge that gold will not get through clay) i am at a loss as to how to read the dirt per say. Also if there is anyone who has some good advice for panning dry creeks or is looking for someone to go panning with i am interested to learn. Thanks [/QUOTE]
