[QUOTE="rogeressig, post: 366235, member: 9562"] Hi, I'm a new member here and have now been panning 7 times. 1st time I found nothing, 2nd time i found a $2 coin! 3rd time i found 5 specks, 4th time nothing, 5th time 1.06g [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/9562/1508507105_fb_img_1508336804179.jpg[/img] I found it in a large crevice that had already been worked. I dug out the clay at the bottom and scrubbed it through a classifier. I've since been back to the same large crevice twice, following it up the bank. Huge amount of work, found nothing else. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/9562/1508511157_fb_img_1508511109767.jpg[/img] Questions are, should I backfill the crevice at all? I'd assume no, although once it gets into the side of the bank, I'm not sure. Also in regards to bringing home concentrate material. I'd assume it's fine to bring home a bit, but not too much. So far the only rules I've read is don't use power tools, and backfill any dug holes. Finding that 0.76g nugget was a huge thrill, now I'm wondering how rare an occurrence that will be. Cheers, Roger. [/QUOTE]
