[QUOTE="Golden Tiger, post: 83644, member: 1104"] It depends on what your looking for. Rock/gravel bars are primarily the best place to look. Although Daylesford has been hit pretty hard over the years, so thinking outside the box has proved quite fruitful for me. I tend to look for long stretch's of creek and look for the slower moving water and dig there. Again, it depends on what your going there for. I'm still trying to find a pattern with the sapphires as i've found them at varying depths from the first shovel full down to the rock bottom (literally) I think the ones in the first shovel full are from previous prospectors looking for gold and discarding them aside. (My thinking as sapphires are heavier than most of the cons) [/QUOTE]
