[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 657121, member: 147"] Very True goldie, and unless the flood was significant enough to expose new bedrock sections previously under a lot of overburden then the mid stream sections are rarely replenished. When however the floods are significant enough to rip out surrounding banks and wash away a foot or two of topsoil from higher banks then the detector operators should rush to check out those new sections of surface erosion. I was lucky enough to be the first after a significant flood on Tuena Creek and was rewarded with half a dozen good nuggets from one bank, the biggest going just over an ounce. I had got nuggets from this same section many years ago and knew many more were still buried under a metre of overburden which would have been not looked upon kindly to have removed with a pick and shovel. When mother nature does it for you then the erosion was from an act of god and that is all OK. [/QUOTE]
