Beginner*
I only ever dug up gold out near Beechworth. I got a few flecks, then lost them. I was rather disappointed too. I could have bought a jelly bean with it.

In the hills south of Batemans Bay there some old gold mines up there.They abandoned them when they realised that it would cost more than the gold to get it out. You could do a day trip there and have a sticky. I saw them horseriding with some clients about 10 years ago...

I've had a go a couple of times with my brother at kalgoorlie/kambalda.
Im very average/beginner at it, but its good having a brother thats a geologist. Normally going through old tailings and going out after a good shower helps.

i was told to look at rock banks with sand were the river turns and leaves a bank of sandy rock and to dig deep not to scratch the surface as gold is heavyer and sinks more
