[QUOTE="RichterScale, post: 358488, member: 9561"] Pretty slim pickings with a detector. This area is only 15 min from my house. I've detected there probably 50 times over the last two years for a total of 9 bits of gold. Nothing bigger than 0.50 gms. Total for the area probably around 4gms. In comparison, the last two months I've found over 40 bits. (about 3.5 ounces) making 4 two day trips to the Golden Triangle. I've found Crossover is a much better place to pan/highbank than detect. The junction of Crossover Creek and Red hill creek had some good finds in the old days (up to 3/4 ounce bit), a lot of diggings nearby so that might be worth a try around there. Ive panned/highbanked some nice pickers around 0.40gms from crossover creek a few years back. Another area worth a try is Livehorse/Deadhorse Creek at Neerim East. (thousands of ounces found there in the good old days) There's also gold bearing creeks around Rokeby but many are in the reserve areas so off limits. [/QUOTE]
