    It is awesome to see that every time you pan out a target there are multiple small pieces of gold in with it. Your hunch that these targets have smaller friends was absolutely correct!

    i have some interesting shapes in the soil showing on my property. parallel sawtooth 'ripples' about 10m tip to tip, about 30m apart. they look distinctly different than the paleochannels, which are sinusoidal and snakey. from the east the seaward plateau is known to have had local glaciation, and possibly a melt lake. a single seasonal stream flows toward a small hill, and that deep cut of the stream lines up perfectly with the missing end of the hill, cut clean off. that sediment can be seen as a layer, and the wide ripples are right behind the hill remaining...so do you have lidar? :)

    I got a monster last summer and took it to a previously productive area. I got 12 tiny ones in one 6 inch area. One was nothing more than a glorified color! The size of the tip of a toothpick. I couldn't believe it but boy was it a bear to recover! I literally had to pinch it between my finger tip and nail to pick it up. 😂

      Yes, but places like that are also not detected thoroughly, granted it is a little more work, But lots of trash always tells me it hasn't been detected.... I once spent two weeks detecting where a house had burned down, TERRIBLE!!! BUT, I found his old coin collection that had been turned into globs of silver, gold, and copper.... AND, he let me keep it all!!! before it melted, he said it was over 50.000 in rare coins... turned into dirty globs of metal, broke his heart (besides losing his house and shop)... And YES!!! Thank goodness for magnets!!

    You need to check the white Gold pieces you've been passing over... Dan Hurd has a Gold prospecting channel with Red gold as well. Also breaking down that bed rock may expose hidden pockets of Gold as well. There's a reason you're still finding gold there when everyone says you won't... It's because of the erosion over time breaking down the rock and exposing the gold...

I'd like to fossick for gold as a hobby, but want to give it the best shot I can for return on investment of time and money and who wouldn't if they are honest even if it's breeding budgies. I have pans, a shovel and pick, but I'm thinking about a sluice for the river - Gold rat. What one would you recommend, width and mat wise? I think I'd like to run it into an older style sluice, the cheaper type, but it's the rat item I'd like your opinion on. I don't have to stay in nsw, but I'm here now and I'd rather not be lifting the shovel high for hours, it's my back and who doesn't have back issues.
