Haha, I hadn't read this thread before. Thanks Richard.
I didn't find any gold. I dived down to the bottom of small water falls and rapids with a bucket, then panned that back on the river bank. The logic was (in pools at the bottom of waterfalls) the light sand and gravel would get washed away and the heavy stuff
would get left. There had been big rain falls with rivers changing their course so I thought I had a good chance. But no. The cold from the NZ South Island rivers was incredible. Argh, I thought it was going to kill me, but not before I found gold. All in all, it was fun, but would have been more fun if I had found some. I'm going to go back sometime with a Garret AT Gold machine and try that way.
