[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 245287, member: 414"] Spots on the tambaroora that are easy to get to have been flogged , look for places where people may not have been snorting up the crevices through a big drinking straw , bit more out of the way and you will find chunky bits in the crevices. its a beautiful bright yellow there too , high purity. in summer when we have a drought , look along the rock bars and you will see clumps of dead grass growing in the crevices , dont worry too much about those as the crevices will be shallow , however if you look for green grass in the crevices it usually means the crevice is very deep so it will probably hold more gold. ( shallow crevices with dead grass can still be worth digging though as well and assess their rewards by sampling ) On the Turon , some people dig a few feet downstream of a tree on the gravel bars however the smart thing to do is look for very old very big dead trees. that gives you two things , the tree is dead so you can dig under its roots closer to the base of the tree without pissing off the rangers , secondly if the tree was 60 years old when it died and it looks like it died 30 - 40 years ago , then you have 100 years of flood gold under its roots . :) [/QUOTE]
