Hi All!!
I don't usually do forums to pursue hobbies, but I decided that a great group of people who share this passion would be a good asset to have.. I like to hear stories of others adventures when out prospecting & of course I never tire of seeing all the photos of Sweet Sweet Gold that everyone but me seems to find.
A little about me:
I'm from Sydney, my nearest goldfields are 2 & 1/2 hours to the SW or NW @ either Tuena or Sofala (& surrounds). I like to hit the beaches when I can @ Cronulla or down at Wollongong.
I own a GPX4500, brought it brand spanking new when they 1st came out. Paid a pretty penny for it. Number of pretty pennies found with it = 0.
I also have a few pans & a home built sluice with a 2 story sieve box that detaches.
I went out last weekend to Tuena & had a bit of a play..
A small amount of colour came up in a few dishes, nothing photo worthy.
I went out to Mudgee the weekend prior & hit the upper reaches of the burrendong dam & cudgegong river.. Here is the only gold I found:
Well that's enough from me for now. Would love to hear from others
Cheers, Matt.
