[QUOTE="ken2m, post: 251855, member: 7269"] I think the trip was worth it Lots of fine gold about 10 - 15 pieces per pan most about the size of a thrip. Worked about 100 litres of gravel with most through the sluce and the last bit of each bucket going in a pan. I have just panned the concentrates down to 1/4 cup of black sand and gold at home and looks like a fair bit of gold. best paydirt was on the trailing end of one rock, only goes to prove that the gold is mainly in the centre of the creek/river. Cleaned out some promising looking crevices and found absolutely nothing and they hadn't been cleaned out for a while (quite hard packed). The crevice sucker really sucked. I have done the trip to the Gold Coast in 23 1/2 hours with only 6*30 minute sleep breaks on the way, about 20 hours of driving. Left a couple of hours before dusk first break at dusk and from then on rested when needed, at dawn another break and then again when needed only thing is that you mentaly drive when you sleep the next day. Involves changing sleeping patterns for a couple of days before hand. Cruise control is a must as it removes one of the thins that you must concenrtate on. Also helps if you are a person that has no problems with sleeping when working shift work. Getting a bit old to do that type of sheite now though. Ken [/QUOTE]
