I am only new in here and just want to say hi as i do a lot of panning out around Walhalla area here in Gippsland Victoria
I wanted to run a sluice box here but parks Victoria said I cant do it so leaving it alone for a while as they are opening a new area up in the baw baw shire here for panning
The wife and I love getting away into the hills for the weekend and just relaxing in a creek when this weather clears up a bit more as we have had a lot of rain which is good for us washes the dirt off the gold I hope. I am still looking into the laws around here about sluicing I got told nothing mechanical can be used and I said to them it is not unless i am ;D. Anyhow we would like to meet other people from our area as well who like to pan as well or just do a bit of prospecting but don't know where to find them. I hope some one from around here will reply as we are easy going people
Ok might catch a few up a creek one day happy prospecting

Hello Walhallagold
A new area being opened up for fossickers? I'm getting envious of you Victorians. Here in NSW they're taking areas away from us. Enjoy your panning - it's a fun and interesting pastime.

Hi, Walhallagold, Welcome to the best Prospectors group in Australia. Once you get to know some of us and perhaps join in some group outings, you will realise that I am right. We never regrated the day we joined this group as complete novices to gold prospecting. Members here have patiently given their time to teach us, and we have found wonderful new friends. I am known as Budgie here and my husband is Peer One Speck. We live in Korumburra in the Retirement Village, (yep Oldies) and would not mind meeting up with you and your wife one day. We have been to Walhalla about a year ago, but did not know where it was permitted to do some panning. Also Peter had his banjo with him, we did not know that only panning is allowed. Nobody was there to give us any information. We would really love to learn more about that area. If you want to contact us, just call out and I'll send you our phone number.
Cheers, Budgie
