Nice job, that’s the reality, you find nothing until you do. Just need time and move gravel. Thanks for sharing

Cheers. I’ll try contributing creeks to the upper Turon next time. I’m told it’s far better.

Great videos! Very helpful. Thank you

Cheers. Much appreciated. Glad you are enjoying it.

Cheers for the vid. A trip taking the kids to Dubbo zoo with a night's stopover in Hill End on the way home is how my gold obsession got started :)

You’re welcome! That’s a pretty cool family trip.

Thanks for the great directions. Might have to visit Hill End, for the history and try panning.

Hill End needs a good flood to replenish some gold and the Turon takes a lot of leg work and test pans but there are great places for the yellow I put a like and a sub cheers Glenno.

Cheers for that. I’m all ears about the Turon. It seems to have so much potential given all the gold districts it flows through.

Gold will gravitate it's way to the beed rock below all that wash where it will grt stuck in the clay or grt caught in the base of cracks or crevices so in the last area you had a look you would need to dig out all that overburden before you have a chance at seeing any color. Try looking for areas of exposed rock under the water with crevices runnung accross the waterflow. Panning is like fishing, it's nice if you get somthing but the real reward is being out there 💰

I think I scratched the bedrock, hence the colour. But I definitely didn’t do it as thoroughly as possible so may have missed the bigger heavier stuff like you suggest. But yes, being out there is the main thing.

Love Hill End. Been there many times prospecting and detecting. There’s no shortage of little, what appear to be stainless steel discs in the creeks. Between the size of 4-5mm in diameter from memory. Pain in the ass when detecting the banks and surrounds. Cheers from Ballarat 🍻🍻🇦🇺

Cheers! Yes, I assume they are shotgun pellets shot at the water and the velocity has flattened them. But maybe they are something else. Did you have any luck detecting larger nuggets?

@@InSearchOf...Australia the little discs that I’m talking about are obviously stainless material of some sort but are the result of some manufactured byproduct resembling the manufacture of punch plate or similar. As for the results of detecting, there’s a little bit to be found in the right places 👍

That makes sense. Punching out rivet holes or the like by the look of it.

Lol. It did feel sparse but there was still colour. I had way less luck at Ophir.
