Fine alluvial Eldorado Victoria Australia
contains minimum 0.035 Grams fine alluvial gold from Eldorado in Victoria Australia in glass vial pendant 30 mm length with service chain
This gold is Fine Alluvial and might contain some tin impurities as tin is heavy and hard to pan
Owners of this site Wayne n Estela panned in Creeks beside The Dredge Eldorado over 40 years and that started our journey of gold discoveries.
Eldorado Gold dredge
In 1936 production of Cock’s large bucket dredge began, mining alluvial gold and tin until 1954. It was one of the largest dredges in the Southern Hemisphere – a floating monster weighing 2,142 tons and pulling the third most power from the State Electricity Grid after Melbourne and Geelong. In its 18 years of operation the dredge produced 70,664 ounces of gold and 1,383 tons of tin concentrate.
By the time the dredge was decommissioned it had dredged 30,000,000 cubic metres from the river flats of El Dorado Plain. It remains a formidable sight and graphically illustrates the extent of the mining operation in and around the town.
