[QUOTE="Moth, post: 338804, member: 9882"] Thanks Lefty Put a day in at Glenalva but didn't enjoy it - found the wash was barely below the surface but the ironstone was sparse and my wash tub became clogged with mud very quickly (took 80 litres of water with me and used it all). When I inspected my sieves there was very little clean ironstone amongst the dirt coloured and dull other stones so sifting though was difficult and I didn't trouble the scorer (think with the shallow wash specking there would be good after heavy rain). Heading back to Reward tomorrow - I like the wash there, particularly when finding rounded stones, indicative of old creek beds, down about 50 - 75cm - even if not finding stones it keeps the enthusiasm level up. Might move onto the Willows in a couple of weeks and would be interested in the thoughts of others who have worked there. [/QUOTE]
