a freind of mine has bought a property
off the warby highway
with 1 km of creek running through it
has invited me to go there
and do some sample panning
cant wait to get up there
will post , any finds. hopefully it will be productive
yes there is alot of black sand
in hoddles creek
i use a magnet i bought from miners den
to get rid of most of it
then tap the pan
untill you get a line of fine gold at the top edge
then suck it up in one go
with a sniffer pippete
i got a Email from a member yesterday
saying i broke some rules ?
shareing finds
and not permited prospecting
and stirring up the anti mining greenies
swinging and digging ?
i mailed back no reply
so swinging and digging post here not send me emails what u do not answer
there is gold in all them creeks
but very small
the black sand is bigger
but colour in the pan
is what we go for right
not to get rich
but to be there
and maybe a nugget one day
while i was there i filled a black plastic sack
with cans, broken glass ,and discarded fishing line
i dont think this was prospecters rubbish
but people who go there fishing
or just to drink beer :(
