How muddy would the water have to be, before the fine gold would not settle in to a riffle or carpet, some where along the sluice ? Would you say a thick soup ! Having some water to add to the mix may help, there must be a point to where it needs to go through a dry blower, or some system that is water less.

Just a minor point - not all gold in the region is associated with quartz. It definitely is at Foster, where a lot of the alluvial gold was attached to quartz, but Turtone Creek was noted for the gold not being attached to quartz at all, and even unmineralised quartz pebbles being scarce in the gravel compared to most goldfields

It is very difficult for small prospectors (detectors) to get access to ground and we must all work within the confines of the Mining Act 1974. If you do find some vacant ground and apply for it, it can take up to 2 years of negotiation and expense before you get it granted and are officialy allowed to move a stone.

The hole yielded one flake of gold and an odd little lead slug about 5mm in diameter. The lead slug: At first I thought it was an old home-made musket ball, as it was made in two hemispheres (ie, molded, not dropped).

The first payable alluvial gold discovery in Tasmania was at Tullochgorum near Fingal (south-west of St.Marys on the eastern side of Tasmania) in February 1852. It is …

The real problem was once I got home back to New York, I live in upstate NY, near Rochester and there is only completely random alluvial gold deposited when the glaciers receded. I have made a couple of trips south to the finger lakes region, but was unsuccessful.

Live in the ACT and am about to get a new Garrett AT Gold. Have a tiny bit of experience ( not much though) 10 Days in the west in April around Coolgardie, Found lots of junk and a 3 gramer. Had a great time though and caught the bug.

Bugger panning out the fines when this only takes a few seconds to run thru and the gold really sticks inbetween the ribbing. Just check out the fine gold in amongst the gravel. The final take for one day at Tooloom, can't complain, gold is gold no matter.

The short answer: alluvial gold refers to tiny gold flakes or dust that came to be through water erosion. This is what prospectors are looking for when panning a river.

this is my honest review of the gold atlas of Victoria. I have nothing to do with this book and am an end user spending a lot of my time prospecting. The atlas is a large sized format measuring 270mm x 400mm, or for those that measure their gold in pennyweights, 10-1/2" x 15-3/4" and the front page folds out to reveal a map of Victoria ...

In the eyes of the law makers, a dredge, no matter what source it uses to extract the gravel from the stream bed, is ILLEGAL. Back in days when dredging was legal in Victoria, the intake could be no larger than 4". Most of the dredging license holders overcame that restriction by welding steel rings inside the intake.

Lou. Your X-Terra 70 will work very well in heavily mineralised gold field soils assuming that you you use the correct coil for that purpose.I use both the eliptical coil and the 6" double "D" coils - the 6" coil is particularly good for smaller gold giving good depth as well.The areas where I work mine has the full bag of difficult soil conditions plus plenty of ferrous and …

I believe he is talking about high desert alluvial fans where the sand/gravel forms large areas at the base of mountain ranges. The gold there is concentrated into …

Flat bar is only used in large alluvial sluices where bars of 100mm height are used as nugget traps at the very head of the sluice. When used as the principle riffles in a sluice they don't create an effective vortex and very poor low pressure areas.

Gold. Around Nerrigundah, or "The Gulph" a large quantity of alluvial gold was obtained and reefs have been prospected near dolerite d**es in the slates of this locality. The alluvial gold was sluiced mainly from the Gulph Creek and its tributaries - North's. Creek, Graveyard Gully and Sawpit Gully.

Properly built and properly set-up they are bit faster than the Blue Bowl and just like the blue bowl, you wont loose any gold. I accidentally broke the slate table a couple of months ago and I'm having trouble finding a new piece of slate to fit.

For most modern-day gold prospectors, it's all about the alluvial deposits. Let's face it, most of us are never going to stake a lode claim and invest in a hard rock mining operation for gold. ... Alluvial mining is easier, more enjoyable, and you can work a claim with basic skills, minimal equipment and gear. Still, one cannot rule out the ...
