Here is Day 4 and Day 5 of my recent gold prospecting trip to Scotland, day 4 was hit & miss, a few pickers and a few empty pans so the following day, I decide to test a few area with encouraging signs:

When I was prospecting back in the 80s, If I didn't get at least 4 grams in a day I would consider it a poor days work

While i would love to get 4 grams for a days work, i have had plenty of 0.1 and 0.2 gram days and still been happy to be out. I am just happy to see some gold now, even if its in someone else's pan  been to long since i have been out for a dig. As always thanks for sharing goldgrabber. |

Thanks for the share Dave Years ago my son and I use to sluice a few streams around the Hargraves/Windeyer-Mudgee area here in N.S.W. once and a while we would find a pocket that had been collecting gold they were sweet gold find Dave my son at the sluice (photo of a photo sorry)

4 grams back then was = to about $12 per G = about $48 per day.
As I was dredging full time 6 day week average $250 per week less cost of fuel.
Doesn't compare to a politicians salary.
