And decided to get involved. Myself and some mates have done a few trips to the west coast prospecting and have found what seems to be a small forgotten about creek. It rounds down a mountain hence the user name. The creek has a shallow clay bottom in most places and areas of exposed rock in others. And boy talk about boulders. Our biggest piece to date is bang on one gram and was sitting hard on the clay. Enjoy the photos, Edited by user Monday, 27 June 2016 9:42:05 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified File Attachment(s): DSCF6187.JPG DSCF6631.JPG DSCF8743.JPG DSCF8741.JPG

Some nice looking gold there. Looks like a lot of effort needed to get it with all those boulders!
