[QUOTE="TTKooAu, post: 45208, member: 1600"] Mt Crawford is a beautiful spot... very clean...certainly not polluted with gold! As it is a working state plantation forest, most areas are covered in giant trees. However when they log and pull out the stumps, a lot of the soil from under is exposed and worth a wave of the magic wand. Guy who sold me my VLF told of a 30 oz nugget found in a private lot bordering Watts Gully, that was last Feb 2012. Didn't see it so can't attest to it as fact. Part of the area is called Rocky Creek and has gold written all over it, with hundreds of smaller rivulets draining into it from the surrounding low hills, quartz everywhere, but so much mica that it makes it hard to see from all of the reflected glare sometimes! I panned that creek hard and found zip. I've been through a lot of Watts Gully. Lots of junk signals. Plenty of evidence of diggings from the goldrush days. Sadly plenty of evidence of recent diggings, someone's not backfilling..... If you plan to go, leave your dog at home, the whole area is baited for foxes. [/QUOTE]
