1864hatter Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Hey folks, I met up with a few friends on boxing day and headed into the wilderness to try and find some gold. After a hike into the location and setting up camp I headed off with my sniping gear to find my fortune, about 10.30am. By 1pm I had about a gram and a half in small pieces from a range of crevices. At this point I had a short break and considered my options. I chose a good looking crevice which cut across the river and had a good bedrock / current arrangement. After removing a little of the gravel which covered most of the crevice I spotted a couple of of slightly chunkier bits than what I’d got earlier. Well, shortly after this the crevice really pu on a show and in the following 1.5hours I found some fantastic gold. I ended up with 29.6g for the 4.5hrs I’d spent in the creek. This is pretty up there in terms of total gold Iver personally found in a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valens Legacy Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Very nice hunt and glad you found some good spots to go back to. There has to be a lot more near those pieces so I guess you will be back there soon. Good luck on your next outing and stay safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
