Hi guys, Headed out this arvo for a bit of detecting & got lucky with 10 little bits for 2.52 grams.

Had a play yesterday with my little highbanker & only got 1 gram for the whole afternoon. Think I will just stick to detecting. Seems to be more rewarding & easier on the body. LOL :) My wife took some video footage of the operation. Will try to get something up to show you tomorrow. Just need to find a hot spot for it. It was working very well & no gold was getting more than half way down the box with most of it caught up in the ribbed matting at the head of the box before the riffles. The gold was pretty fine flood gold. I was working some exposed soft schist about 30 feet away from the rivers water edge & pumping the water to the set up.

Good luck out there

JW :)
