[QUOTE="diggerdave, post: 49118, member: 1588"] Hi Dingo I was out that way the other day ..creek only barely running but plenty of fine stuff. I was keeping an eye out for another forum member SWright but didn't end up catching up. I panned quite a few spots...found the best deposits where the larger cricket ball sized dark rocks were in the creek. I was about a mile downstream of kangaroo crossing. There were a few people about including where I was planning to go but good to look over some new ground. It will be interesting to see how the highbanker goes there. I have found it difficult to separate the gold from the black sand especially in the +/- 30 range as the gold is very thin and flaky and generally I seem to find better deposits where the black sand is a little coarser. Its easier to pan the chunky stuff and separate from the black sand but the fine Eldorado gold is painful. Yackandandah creek might have some bigger pieces...worth a try if you have the time.
