Hey guys here is what I found detecting yesterday, having a hard time finding anything of a decent size lately.
Just on three grams there, I'll take it!

Nah no pink nail polish(although it would look nice lol), admittedly looks a bit pink in the pic.
I see you are also just getting little bits mostly. I guess that's the way it goes with a non renewable resource...
The fine gold was in the crevices with the bigger gold, I have a kind of sucker I use to suck it up.

Yeah, it's not the most intuitive for posting pics eh!

Click the "Post Reply" button right down the bottom, then under where you type your reply there's some "Options" tick boxes. Tick the "Attach files to this post?" and that will take you to another page after you click "Post". Will then allow you to add photos to message.

I'm going to have to get around to doing a sticky post with instructions for that!

Hi Mat... historically there was no gold on that side of the river.There were hydraulic sluicing claims either side of the creek so im picking the main river cut that creek at some point but i cant work out the topography-the gold stops about 100 metres up from where the side creek hits the river but there are vertical walls either side.
I cant work it out lol!
