[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 6431, member: 147"] Oallen has mainly fine gold Ryan, :o and a lot of it gets moved around with each flood....you rarely do well going deep an any part of the Shoalhaven, and the best results are nearly always adjacent to the rock bars where the faster sections of the river deposit "football" size rocks. Anything larger and the flow is too strong for the gold to fall out, and becomes more widespread, rather than concentrated. We stick to the rock bars with no more than 40 cm of overburden on them..and usually average from 5 to 8 grams a day. The river in the Oallen area consists of long pools with interlocking rapids, where the bedrock is usually exposed. these interlocking rapids is where you want to be. Your hi-banker needs to be portable enough to carry to these areas...and if you get them there, you will do a lot better than near the Forde itself....Cheers Wal. :) [/QUOTE]
