Very relaxing,40*C ,cool Rivers for sunburn,flies,snakes,wasps,tourists,COLD BEER & the mandatory GOLD

 

Very nice. I've had gold fever for years. One time I took my sluice box on my motorcycle. I was an exploration geologist for two decades and took tons of stream sediment samples, but I've only seen flour gold. The one on the left is a nice nugget.

 

Yup,it is a Fever,for sure.20 years ago i was into it bigtime,all weekend ,rain hail or shine.These days i take it easy,if its been there millions of years well it aint going anywhere.Problem is too much dirt between it....

Sluicebox.......best thing ever invented,i use a 4 footer,home made,alum,10mm checkerplate,lock in rods,hesian on a rubber matting,works well,i had a 8gm slug sit in the box for hours before i noticed it.......lol

 

Looks like you just cooked bacon and eggs in that pan................hehehe
Must be fun though......

 

Give us the low down as to the river you were sitting in?

Aussie johnno

 

Mate theres Gold in hundreds of Rivers in Victoria,pick the one you want...What area of Melbourne are you Aussie?

 

No idea Steve....? I store it up,then sell it .I dont put a price on what its worth in Bullion,but the relaxation of sitting there panning is Priceless.....
