Wonder how much gold floated over those bunches in front of the riffles?
-
The riffles are backwards! Look at them. The slope is facing the water flow.. which is why the material is bunching up in his sluice. Strange.
-
If you pause it at 2:42 they do look backwards.
-
yeah cool man,prolly take until the end of time to get some grammage but cool...
-
So how many ounces was that day's worth of golding?

That exact section of soil you were digging (the divet) was started by myself about 6 years ago and we've been panning there on an off since then. That big slab of "cement" that can be seen in the video just before you pan (next to the trail) is the remants of the volcanic mudflow the old miners were lifting in the 1800s to get to the gold underneath. Great video. Not quite in Lithgow. Keep it a secret!

am i nuts or are your riffles backwards?

@desertdreg nah they're the right way mate - they face this way / gold flows over the top and lands in the low pressure section on the other side if they were this way \ it would clog up and be useless... it might be an illusion??
