I spent a couple of days out detecting. Checked out a new creek and detected a bit of gold in the first bit of bedrock I came across. All up I detected 11 pieces for 5.8 grams the biggest bit was 1.8 grams. I wanted to do some sluicing but there wasn't enough water. When there's a bit more water, will be worth sluicing to expose more bedrock to see what the detector can find...

That's some lovely chunky gold you're finding! Must be a pretty sweet spot. Thanks for sharing :)
