[QUOTE="MJB, post: 428039, member: 1222"] Yep, the old timers diverted the flow of Reedy creek many times along its length to get at fresh ground. I have heard that if you find a reddish brown type layer that it holds gold. My experience was in loose river gravel in the water and the only obstacle to stop people digging it was on small log fallen over the creek....it was too hard for everyone else to cross so they just thrashed the already flogged spot. This was all within 10 metres of where I parked my car too so you don't have to go trekking through the scrub too much. Another spot is to find cracks in the bedrock (granite) and look for hard packed gravels in the crevices and rocks....find hard pack and darker material and you should see colour smiling back at you :Y: [/QUOTE]
