Will add things here from time to time. My mate and I decided to brave the cold today and get in the water for a spot of dredging. Still exploring this area and have dropped down stram some distance from where we know payable gold is to be had. Today we managed a few hours in the water but initial results don’t look too flash. Will try the spot again in a couple weeks and punch a hole in deeper gravels. The hot water wasn’t working today so we were reluctant to get too seriously into it. Will post a pic of takings later, only around 1.5g if we’re lucky. Look at the water temp!
