    I agree... Miller table all the way. Even if they clean up equally as good, there's something about being hands on with the Miller table that's so satisfying.
    The lack of black sands in that spot is indicative of better paydirt under it. I suggest you pan in one spot and go as deep as you can. Cheers 🍻

    Since I am not in Australia to do this myself, it would be awesome if you could make a video where you work up a decent amount of concentrates and then take some kit like a panning tub to Andrew's from Adventure Gold and pan the concentrates together. I may never get to wash a pan with him but then I could watch my two favorite Australian prospectors together and I am sure it would be fun for him. That would be a great video.

    I'd like to also say prayers for Andrew of Adventure Gold Prospecting - Australia.I've had cancer myself and was just lucky and I'm doing good now. Andrew has provided many many hours of teaching how to look for gold and a lot more. I'm simply heartbroken from his most recent video.

    Finally after all these years Ikea makes something useful. Another thing i would like to mention is i visited reedy creek last year and camped for a week Eldorado to be exact.
    Anyway we visited the Massive dredge and were blown away at the sheer scale of the operation back then. In 1936 production of Cock’s large bucket dredge began, mining alluvial gold and tin until 1954. It was one of the largest dredges in the Southern Hemisphere - a floating monster weighing 2,142 tons and pulling the third most power from the State Electricity Grid after Melbourne and Geelong. In its 18 years of operation the dredge produced 70,664 ounces of gold and 1,383 tons of tin concentrate.
    By the time the dredge was decommissioned it had dredged 30,000,000 cubic metres from the river flats of El Dorado Plain.
    Question - Do you think that cocks bucket was scraping on a under river seam i would love to trace it back up the river and possibly find a primary anyway Chris Love your work.

You know they make different kinds of pans and different sizes; maybe that was the problem:-) Yikes! Great video. Got lost in thought there. Something about a picture of you running thru the outback screaming:"I did it, I did it, with a 10,000 ounce gold spill leaving a trail behind you. Heavy pans! Nice golden smile.
