I must have missed that shower on the way out. Went for a scout today just a walk around, water was about 2ft higher again. Got both boots filled with water again! HAHA o well I pretty sure I have found livingstone creek not far from where we go. pretty easy to get into, shafts are pretty good to see too. It'll be bloody hard to get highbanker into the way we have been tracking our stuff down would have to be very organised to get up the hills, everything would have to be done in one shot. Hoping to get back down there in couple of weeks as heading to woop woop can't spell the name of the place next week end hopefully the guru kims grandfather will be able to give a better knowledge on what to look for.
I'll keep you up dated. let us know if you head down i'll drop down after work and give you a hand for couple of hours.

yeah once I packed up and got into the car it bucketed down all the way home :/ so you found some of the mine shafts at livingstons creek? how many are there? I thought they were all filled in! might have to check it out when you come up, planning on going down Tuesday/Wednesday but will depend on weather and how high the water is I guess. might make a massive bank and pump all the water out and finish that part of the hole well ill txt you if I end up going down. I got bored and put the gold I had on facebook and got $120 for it haha not bad at all for 2 grams! Attachments:

Looks good when its all put together like that! I swear you could have got $100 for the ***** and balls looking nugget HAHA! I head back to work tomorrow suckie life ey; but its money.
You can see the shafts where they are deepest one would have been 8ft i wouldn't try on covered in ferns etc.. I'm guessing mine isn't to far from there either.

yeah but needed the money quickly to do some work on the car yeah work sucks but it pays the bills unlike most gold prospecting trips haha. so there was just random shafts sunk in the ground? I would have thought they would be full of water. anyway I have modified the wet/dry vac so the bilge will keep that hole dry and then suck up ALL of the gravel in the bedrock so lets just say ill get a lot of gold the next trip XD well im planning on heading down tomorrow but ill let you know

Hi there lads couldn't help but notice you have been prospecting out at turtons. I have had a fair bit of luck out there myself. I grew up In The area and know it very well. I haven't been out for a while but keen to get back into it. Planning on goin out within the next week or so. If I bump into you out there can show u a couple of the old mines

Goldfinda! That would be fantastic if you could take us on a scout around our phone numbers are on past posts on this thread. but to save you the search my number is 0435930889. I'm heading away this weekend coming to Daylesford, to speak with my partners pa who made a living off gold. Will definitely want to catch up and have walk around, maybe even a dig. Do you still live in the local area? Imdaman55! Yeah get the car sorted otherwise it'll be awhile before you get down. May see you down there but the phone call i got an hour also ago I'm probably going to be in for some long shifts this week.
