My very first trip out was exactly the same, nothing but 2 little bits. But it was way better than none at all :) A good start i say

They actually do stand out a bit. But iv proberly missed lots aswell. Its funny how you spot them almost sub-conciously

Also on another point... im also always checking bits of quartz carefully each time looking for the chance of some color, but as you can see its not just the quartz that can carry the color. Have many others out there found similar peices with gold not in quartz?

Hi all.. I was doing some panning in the laundry (as you do when the creeks are getting cold) with 2 buckets i got from up the road. I forgot to take the seive when getting the buckets of dirt for homework So while panning i was casually getting out the larger rocks from the pan and i was...

Hi all I picked up a new little girl today , 14 week old Black Barb X Kelpie. Im having lots of trouble picking out a name tho.... So hopefully you guys might be able to give us some ideas.... I was hopeing something prospecting related or something as she is my new partner for going out...

Thanks guys There is an old church where we are from the gold days which we are planning to get married in, thought it would be cool to have my ring made from gold found in the creek behind it to tie it all together nicely..

Someone on here had mentioned they got their wedding ring made from gold they had found themselves... cant remember who ?? I was just wondering how much gold it actually took to get the ring made up? (Male wedding band) Cheers

Relativity... might need to be looked up here... just like jumping up while in a train, why dont you hit the back of the train while in air...

Hmm not real sure how to ask more specific. I think you proberly answered it tho GT. As in, you went back to a spot you cleared out previously and found more.. Has anyone cleared out a pocket/riffle in bed completely to bedrock, then gone back after and found more? And how much rain does it...

I thought it would be a very gray kind of question/answer... Thanks for the input tho

I dont know if there is any proof or evidence to answer the questions but thought id ask... How much does a creek/river change after a moderate rainfall?, as in does much gold get washed around really? If a creek has been cleared out, how many years Or hundreds or years before color would...
