Also good tips for nsw and engineering + angles for catching every spec with your high banker. more than happy to share info and tips from 25 years worth of hardcore prospecting.im tired time to share.

G'day mate, I'm a 7 mile regular although I haven't been down there for a few months. I don't know what the water situation is like, probably low. The bottom of the range would be a good spot to start but there a lot of large rock. The top end of the field is also good, a lot of sand and rock. There's the shell of an old bus there, just down from it is exposed bedrock, good for creviceing.

Nuggets that were supposingly found there.

Gold I found from a couple hours digging on my last run.

The sand can be deep in places. the area Peter is digging in is where an old prospector who actually lived in that old bus was digging for rubies (red sapphire). I've done a fair bit of digging back up towards the head of that creek and found ok gold. I'll be down there Saturday for a bit of a dig.
