[QUOTE="4040, post: 518272, member: 16794"] Hi all, Im new around here are fairly new to chasing gold generally. I've been enjoying getting out into the bush and exploring old workings around creswick / slatey creek with the kids over the last couple of years. I have recently been exploring the old hydraulic sluicing sites and seeing the massive volume of dirt these oporations must have moved back in the day! It got me thinking, while a long way from most of the creeks, is it worth screening dirt from the bottom of these pits to then run through a pan or sluice at a differnet location? I get that this would be quite a bit of work but was wondering if there was that much fine gold to be found that the dectorists and oldtimers missed and or had washed out of the cut face walls since.... Is it worth me even sampling the area? Waste of time? Of course im really only in it for the fun of it but getting some colour in the pan always makes the day a little more enjoyable. Cheers.
