[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 6144, member: 147"] Unfortunately Quartz does not necessarily mean gold Boyd. Quartz is the most prolific mineral on the planet. Before you dig the banks check the nearest rock bar and dig a couple of crevices....look for black sand and ironstone. If these aren't present then give the creek a miss. If there's no evidence of old diggings along the creek or within a few ks of the creek, then chances are you won't find much gold. Research the gold bearing areas nearest to you ,and even if it means a bit of travel concentrate on these creeks instead....Cheers Wal. :) [/QUOTE]
