Hey all,
I have been sifting through old threads and like what I see. I am a beginner with only gold panning stuff so far. I used to have a Garrett gold stinger detector which I used at Jupiter Creek, Echunga, for a long time and never had any gold there. I lost interest and sold it, now I wish I hadn't as I have been bitten by the bug again!
I found a few tiny, tiny, specs of gold in my pan the other day in clay at Echunga. They were so tiny, almost silt particle size, well, they were dwarfed by a grain of sand by 10 or 20 times. But it was gold and gave me some encouragement.
I plan on making sluice box and giving it a go at Mt Crawford forest while their is still lots of water about, then hopefully by the time it dries out I will be able to afford another detector.
cheers
