[QUOTE="gragagan, post: 575904, member: 14786"] Heading out Drake area again in the next week for a bit of a scratch around. Tried a new spot the other day, did okay, keen to head back to explore some more. Not going to name the spot, it's not a secret but is only a very small creek a few metres wide, up in the rainforest. There were even old timers workings in the bush. Alluvial workings; dug out areas, piles of rounded river rocks, fine tailings downslope. Tried panning a few samples from different levels of the wash layer they were working (a 1.5m high face that someone had recently cleaned out) for nothing at all. Didn't see any bedrock anywhere at all. Maybe it was deeper, and the bottom has been covered. The gold was in the creek, very patchy, either very good or zero. Only using a pan and a plastic scoop, nice and easy [/QUOTE]
