[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 579570, member: 4386"] Dingoman, a lot of the black sand there is cassiterite (tin oxide). The gold always seems fine, I think because it was all derived from reefs at Beechworth and south of there, so there is no replenishment along the watercourses once you are on the granite, and it gets finer with distance. However there is tin in the granite (Mt Pilot Batholith) so it keeps adding to the drainage downstream.[img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4386/1603191723_beechworth.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
