Well the wife "told" me to go bush as i was getting a bit grumpy (fevered). therefore i have decided to start a journal of my adventures...hit my usual creek as it produces and has history. set the 'garbzook' up in the same bedrock riffle and continued digging on the gravelbar that i started on last trip, i extended my dig 2' towards the creek centre and about 1.5' downstream. This bar is inside of a slight bend 15' d/s of sluice and have to dig down about 2' to hit bedrock/crevices. ran 15 x 5 gal buckets and cleaned - out at # 8 and # 15, i also straight fed zook for about 45 mins at the end of the day sampling a couple of nearby holes for later digging. After clambering out of gully back to the car (60 degree climb) i realised i lost my 1/2" classifier - will have to make a new one. I also took a small walk up the track to look for an easier way down to the creek further upstream and i believe i spied one of the old mines on the other side of the creek..more things to explore as i move closer to the source cleaning the creek as i go during the year...heavy pans all
