Gold Prospecting Flood Gravels Deposited Between Bedrock Cre

[goldgrabber]

Here's a short video showing the second area I worked on my last prospecting trip, I was walking along the river and noticed a large amount of protruding bedrock which had a number of small crevices all covered in flood gravels. The material obviously hadn't been touched since it was put there in a big flood going through the area so I figured there was a chance some gold might have got caught up in the crevices with the material deposited there.



I spent 2 days removing all the gold bearing material I could and slucing it through, I noticed some small bits of gold in the sluice but not as much as I had hoped for. I should have taken a before and after picture to show the amount of gravels there was before I started as the main crevice gulley was over 1ft deep of material above the waterline, flowing all the way down below the waterline where I continued to remove all the material I could.



There are no overall gold shows as I take my con's home with me to pan over the winter as I don't live local to any prospecting sites so I'll have a lot of buckets to work through this winter.



Please feel free to like, comment, share and subscribe for more videos as they come, thanks

Very interesting spot there , I struck one like that on the Peel river at Nundle N.S.W.
it was a really good natural gold trap
we worked it over a long weekend between 3 of use
and dug out some nice gold

Always a good place to scratch if your first there after the flood

Cheers for the comments guys, I was certainly the first one to work these gravels since they were deposited there in which ever flood put them there, it was obvious they hadn't been touched so figured it was a good place to try as the area suffers from large floods every so often (once/twice a year weather depending) so I hoped to find something lodged there from the flood, doesn't look like it turned out to be too prospective but I'm judging this on what I saw in my sluice as I still have to pan my con's out which I save for the winter to keep the interest up when I can't go prospecting
