Aussie Gold Finds

O.K. time to add some more photo's,some of the fine gold was sluiced in what we call a power sluice and then the concentrate was panned off,this river is the Peel river and good gold is still found here today,this bend would have about a half ton of gold sill locked inside till the next flood,these photo's are all taken of photo's in my photo album (my fossickers photo album)



This is where about 2 to 3oz came out in two days with two sluices going about forty feet from the water on the flat just before the river bank (John in the photo didn't tell me exactly how much he won so I can't say for sure).



This is another area call Long creek,here you see the mob digging the creek bank back,this was started 15 years ago right beside the creek and now 15 to 30 feet from the creek in places,some very good gold has come out of here in the past and recently a 14oz from near here.



Having a spell from the shovel this is my son.



My wife swinging a coil and on to something Oh sorry that was "what the heck is this"



and this is what It's all about



the specie had 1oz in it,this was found XXXXXXXXX Golden Triangle



and the oval one was 5 grams found with others in and around Nuggetty Gully



I'll post more before I hit the road to Western Australia but for now these will have to do .

all the best to all

G'Day mate there are many North,South and West,Nundle to the North North West is about 5 hours,Hill End/Sofala/Mudgee area about 5 hours West and North West and Oberon/Braiwood is 4 hours South West and South South West respectively.
The Victorian Golden Triangle is about 10 hours South West and the Western Australian Gold Fields are 4 days West,so you see nothing close to Sydney as Sydney lei's in the middle of a sandstone basin that extends for 120 to 150 miles North,South and West,my mate Tim lives in the middle of the triangle in a town/city called Bendigo,he drives 5 minutes down the road and he's swinging the coil and 10 minutes putt's him in the Whipstick Forrest where a lot of big nugget are still found to this day the lucky ducks anyway my day will come and when it does I'll probable fall down a mine shaft LOL .

Well it depends on your luck,(just a short story about luck this is from Gold Gem and Treasure in a section called"Echoes From the Past",
"The Argus 4Th of August 1937"
Lucky slip of a pick:Rich find by Prospector
Perth- At Mt Sir Samuel two prospectors,Ernest Tuck and Leslie Gray,unearthed a kidney of gold and quartz estimated to contain 200 to 500 ounces of gold,it is stated that Tuck accidentally dropped his pick and the point became embedded in the indicator which lead to the discovery.)
So this is just one story of luck and that is about the size of it the more luck you have the more gold you get and it doesn't matter how much hard work you put into finding it,it all boils down to how much luck you have

Oh and with your trip to Auss
I'll draw you a mud map and leave the light on in the caravan window

Good luck to you wolf and they say you have to hit over 300 targets before you find the gold

thanks Harry, I'll let ya know when it arrives. been crazy busy. Mom went in hospital etc. etc. Hope all is well with you sir and I will try to get out before summer is over to do a little pannin. Be good and good luck brother. WOLF

Don't know the name of the pan I use but it is green and square. With riffles on three sides. been told by a few here its a good pan to use. Now I just need to prove them right. WOLF

Harry, received the parcel. Thanks again my friend. I have some reading to do now before my next trip. Ammo for my next trip I'd say. Can't thank you enough. WOLF
