In Search Of: Gold (Sunny Corner State Forest, NSW, Australia)
This week I search for Gold in the Sunny Corner State Forest at Mitchell's Creek. A well known place for gold that makes me wonder if you can still get anything substantial so close to wider Sydney. Remember you need a fossicking licence to fossick in these areas.

Thanks for the feedback! It was an epic looking sunrise over the forest. I'm slowly fanning out to other areas but will return to Sunny Corner to focus on more crevices in the next video.
Nice little vid. Thanks for sharing. And yes it’s terrible when people come in and rip the area apart, leave it in a mess and their rubbish behind. We’ll lose access if folks don’t do the right thing.

Looking at trekking around this area on my next weekday off, weather permitting, thanks for sharing, it will be my very first trek out prospecting.

You’re welcome. Good luck! I hope the video leads you to some colour.
Cheers for the vid. I've been out to Sunny Corner twice, found a little bit each time. Found what looks like a devils dice last trip. Lots of wildlife out there, though the pine forests are kinda spooky :)

Not advisable. There is quite a lot of different types of traffic going through.
Get yourself a real shovel

Not sure what you mean. For which situation? The crevices? Spaces with little leverage? A shovel to turn sand and concrete mix? An all metal shovel? A spade that pierces the earth with its point? Happy to be enlightened.

Ahh…I see. I have that but the large river rocks buried amongst the wash are difficult to lever out with a flat edged shovel. But, yes, a shovel with a large surface area on the blade could increase the volume moved.

@@InSearchOf...Australia Ok, it's good that I asked because I want to emigrate to Bolivia and there is mainly similar rock there. I tend towards a U-shaped shovel
