it has been done to death, however below the main road bridge a two to three foot hole in the gravel banks close to the waters edge produces quite a suprising amount of flower gold. the flower gold is right through the gravels so no bottom as such. dont go to close to the water as your hole fulls up with water. My self and some friends often end up there if other rivers fail and dig a hole the size of car. Basically a never fail but you will not get rich.
