Boxing Day Special

[1864hatter]

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.

Wow. You should of stayed a few minutes longer and cracked to ounce for the trip. By the way most detectorist don't do that in a day.

You chose crevices wisely.

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.
