I've got one but haven't found gold with it yet. Just some various metal pieces and old 1800s horseshoe nails. I think it mainly depends on where you go that matters.

I was just at Coles Bridge yesterday, I've been to both but favor the lower end area as I just have 2wd.
As for Native Dog Creek, it's really remote, parts of it are currently closed off to the public for active logging, so you can't just go anywhere. Also, I was in a 2wd car, but I'd seriously recommend 4wd for the area. Also, it's in a State Park so make sure you have your permit with you. The hill down to the creek where I was at was extremely step, part of the challenge is just getting down to the water. Once you're down there in the creek it's a gully with a small stream running through it. I'll try again, but where I was at didn't have much gold, but I did get 2 good size flakes.
I have much better luck at Coles Bridge. I'm looking at checking out Lucky Point and Sunny Corners next.
Cheers!
