2 hours of easy sluicing + 2 hours of panning back home - not enough time on site, so shovelled about 200 scoops thru the sluice to gain about 1/4 bucket of concentrates.
Great video! Nice bit of gold there too. My father and I have worked Adelong Creek on and off for over thirty years now. It used to be very rich in places, averaging a bit over an ounce a week (even pulled a few nuggets from the rock bar that runs near the back of the main street back in the mid 80's).
Today we get about the same as you have there for a few hours work.
