Went out for a scratch around on the coast the other day, (didn't get that far Gavin), walked up the creek, looks like someone has been doing some dredging in there, (no there is no claim on this creek), they have exposed lots of bedrock, so I figured no claim why not, I jumped in there with the 4500, I came away with eight pieces for 2.5 grams. It makes me wonder what they got with the dredge. Evryone wonders what someone else got lol espcially when you see big tailing pile,s;)...nice bit of gold well done.
