[QUOTE="Goldagettin, post: 69899, member: 2572"] Thanks Retirement Stone, Your rite on the money. We are heading to a couple of new spots tomorrow just to see if our hunches are rite or not. The best part about the creek today is it's only a 15 min drive from home, but tomorrow we are going about an hour and a half away. I know now I have to work on my panning technique now because I couldn't find much black sand when I panned but I then ran the rest through the sluice and the first riffles filled with the stuff fast. I also found a few rusty old rail way spikes while digging. I was impressed by finding a heap of metal shards in the sluice, it was the rusty bits from the spikes. So it's catching the heavies that's for sure. As for the pics.... I don't think my phone camera has macro... and my specs are that small I really need macro...lol I hope to have enough yellow tomorrow that my camera will pick it up...lol cheers again. :D [/QUOTE]
