[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 654564, member: 1414"] Was doing a search one day and found some very old scrapings & dry blowings on a slope leading down to a creek. So I stopped and put the 18" on my SD2100 and wandered down the creek. Woopee, up came a 13.5 grammer and not 10 metres further on a 12.5g was in my jar. About 50 metres further on there was a natural rock bar completely crossing the creek. Crack of dawn the next day I was back there with a shovel and spent an hour digging away the metre of sand up against the bar. Swung the detector and it went crazy by the time the sun was dipping I had over 1 1/2 ounces. Every year since then I returned and never failed to find AU, about 5 ozs last count came out of 100 metres of that creek. I often wonder how much the Oldtimers got on the slope and if they're looking down seeing what they missed just below their workings. Have worn the 13.5g around my neck since then.[ATTACH type="full"]5108[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
