[QUOTE="elbowgrease, post: 231682, member: 233"] We'll Saturday was a bit of a fizzer, got to Reedy a bit later than I had hoped maybe 4ish, the spot that I was hoping to dig had a bloke camping there working it named Barney. Had a bit of a chat, seemed like a top bloke and he was doing ok which was good to hear! Ended up trying a spot a couple hundred meters downstream but only found very fine fine gold and not in huge quantities either so after an hour or so decided dinner at the Chinese place in Beechworth sounded more more enticing than digging fairy dust sized gold and packed up the gear. Sunday fared much better. Met up with my prospecting buddy and hit up our old faithful. Worked hard to move a fair bit of stone and work through the overburden but managed to get into some good stuff. Roughly panned down the banker cons to mostly black sands, you know you've had a reasonable day when the black sand cons look like a starry night sky. Gonna get onto cleaning it up proper tonight, be interesting to see what we got! [/QUOTE]
