[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 82286, member: 2152"] I pondered for a long while about trying for alluvial out that end of town, and ran into a guy that swore the dams had great gold from people washing out some whilst panning. Quick google earth check and i sampled over thirty water points for a grand total of a few dozen specks. Defeated on that front (hey it might be there but IMHO you'd need to be highbanking) i took too sampling up some dry creek beds and gravel wash that was patchy but definitely gold. Had better luck closer to town around lightning hill, but water can be an issue. Out of town there are much better places all round, but it is out there, just depends on how hard you want to work for it. Been meaning to go back with some better hope of wetter areas, I'm sure with the good gold that comes out from there from the detectorists there's bound to be some good alluvial gold to be had.
