[QUOTE="Occasional_panner, post: 306411, member: 7956"] Have you looked into dry blowing? That's what the dry mongrel areas are good for. High country.... hmmm sounds like a bit too hard work for you mate, I busted my ass carting crap up and down hills. It can get hard up there mate. Sounds like a easy digging spot at eldorado with a banker would suit you or/ and a dryblower in the GT. I could be wrong, but most of the high country alluvial gold was worked well out, it will take another 50,000 years to erode the mountains enough to get back to where it was in the 1850's. But yeah there is a bit still there, but given the difficult terrain, may not be worth the effort. I always look at it as a hobby, I asked early on, if you can make money doing it. Well the resounding replies were no, no and no. Just go and have fun, even sitting at the creeks edge panning can be an awesome day. [/QUOTE]
