This morning we were off to Hill End for a dig. Dad dropped me of at a spot at Tambaroora that had a lot of crevices that looked promising.
After a few test pans around the place that all showed no gold I decided to go around the place with the pin pointer to see what I could find. I found a few peices of metal but no gold. After awhile it started to rain so I packed up and went back to a mates place.
We left Hill End at around 3 in the afternoon and decided to stop by at Coles Bridge.
There was only big pools around with no flow at all. I did a few test pans near the bridge with no gold. Dad took a walk down the river and came across a big hole in the river. There was plenty of tailings piles around. I took a walk further down the river and found more holes that had been left unfilled.
We did a test pan in the hole and there was 1 good size flake of gold. So we dug some dirt out of the hole and filled our buckets up and put them in the ute to take home
Will go through the dirt tomorrow and post the result of what I get.
