[QUOTE="moeee, post: 428038, member: 12918"] i recall when I first went out panning and was armed with all the knowledge re inside bends and such , but shock horror , when I arrived , the river bore no resemblance to the theory. The river looked as though some evil God had eaten it up and spat it back out. heavy handed prospectors had simply altered the way the text books say the river should look like , and it was impossible to find natural lines of deposits. This is due to lack of flooding on these particular creeks. i am unaware of lack of flooding being an issue with Reedy creek or the spot where you were successful MJB , but I figure your success in the middle of the stream was due to a patch where the creek was not thrashed. That is now my modus operandi in the creeks I frequent - don't worry about what you learned , just try to find a spot where nobody has dug. More likely to find gold there than digging inside bends of tailings that have been run countless times. [/QUOTE]
