Nothing too exciting was found, he got just over a gram and I got just over two. I did manage to find another small piece of crystal gold (bottom left of coin). The picture is of the gold I got. We also tried a creek called nuggety creek but that didn't reward us with any gold just plenty of scratches from black berry bushes!!

Went over the bottom of Nuggety Creek a while back and got some specks but nothing to write home about. How did you get on with the pigs lol!
