Gday from Melbourne

[Bugsie]

Hi everyone

Just dropped in to say Gday. Total newbie here... I was fortunate enough to meet a fellow member on my last camping trip. They were so kind that they showed me how to pan and lent me their gear for an hour or so. I panned with my kids and we found a few small pieces and it was enough to get us hooked.

So I went out got myself a miners right a pan and some sieves and wrapped it all up for the family Christmas present.

Im looking forward to learning all about this as a hobby.

Hi Bugsie and welcome to PA.

I'm pretty sure it was me you met at Slaty Creek about 3 weeks ago.

The kids will be very excited when they open their presents on Xmas Day and find the panning equipment.

Cheers Annie

Hi Bugsie

Keep an eye on the Creswick area rainfall over the next few weeks as Slaty Creek often dries up over summer. I've been told there is often water in Sailors Creek near Daylesford over summer and the kids may find a few little gemstones in their pans.

Use the Search function and you'll be amazed at how much information you'll find on that area alone...plus more
