Found a sluice box and buckets up Doom Creek yesterday-looks like they had been there a long time.
If they are yours I would suggest A) hide em better cos there are some unscrupulous characters out there and B) put em further up the bank cos if we get a big flood they are history!

I know-have come across gear/holes before when I stupidly thought I was the first person since the rushes to work an area!

Lesson number 1- 99 % of the time someone has been there before you

Lesson number 2- Never touch another blokes stuff!
