[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 36542, member: 357"] thanks loamer, i'm not actually sure of the first indicator record I am aware that around 1872 reef mining took over from alluvial in the area so I assume it was identified some time prior to that. I wasnt aware that there was a debate on indicators, I use indicators relevant to the respective belts in my area on a daily basis, without it i'm sure i would not be as successful in prospecting. Ballarat hosts some of the most obvious and distinctive indicators Ive seen I've certainly debated with some about north south v's east west reefs and some say the that the indcator is ble and some say red :) but we all know they are tried and true. there's a great reference that i read from time to time here [url]http://www.prospectorspatch.com.au/eshop/pages/Finding-Gold.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
