[QUOTE="jethro, post: 190679, member: 1297"] The thing with the Buckland Valley Goldfield is that the gold is very patchy but when you do get onto a patch it is normally pretty good course gold and doesnt take long to throw together a gram or so. Its the only place Ive managed to crack the gram mark for the day with the pan ( It was 2 grams from 3 double handfuls of blue clay wash from under a huge boulder. Ive also seen a 2grammer panned there. It got a lot harder to find a good crevice after the 03 bushfires as the whole riverbank on either side was covered in a layer of ash and charred soil to a depth of about 18 inches and you have to dig thruogh that layer to find old river wash. As I in an earlier post Its best to prospect the river in febuary march as the water is low then & warm enough to snorkle in working the crevises. [/QUOTE]
