Well it's been bit of a hot spell. Rain, ripper. Let's face it when your out sluicing & panning you get wet anyway. So rain won't hurt. I went out to the favourite spot armed with an idea. I've been getting fine gold with a few little chunks on the lower slope of the dam. So my theory was, the heavier bigger bits will be higher up trapped in the crevices? Worth a shot & a pan. So it only took 2 test pans to see the change of consistency of the bigger bits. I spent 2 hrs in the rain & managed a few bits & a nice gem stone.

Good one Brad....recon if you take the hi banker in after some heavy rain and recirc the water you might be on a good thing. I often use my tailings to form a small dam to trap the water....good luck on the next outing...Cheers Wal.
