Both Prospector B and myself meet up once a month to do a bit of prospecting around the Gippsland area, the first video was of last months trip to a new spot we stumbled on the month prior. We did a quick clean up after every bucket of 1/2" classified material so we could track the streak of gold, very quick with the AM Grubstake.
The second video was taken yesterday when we returned to search for more gold from this spot.
Although the creek has very limited flow we managed to get my Gold Rat custom river sluice to run (just), it's a credit to G0lddigg@ who built me the sluice for small creek low flow situations, only 2 tiny specks and 2 small species were found in the miners moss, the rest of the gold was in the first 5 cm of hog mat, it was great to get this sluice wet again and great to only do a clean up before lunch and one at the end of the day, the amount of ironstone in the matting and miners moss was crazy for about 20 buckets of 1/2" classified material.
