[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 42490, member: 414"] have any of you guys and girls worked the gulleys near the bridle track , between 2 - 5 kilometres south east from Hill End ? I spent a day there and found gulleys with massive quartz veins in them , found lots of old drives , shafts and mullock heaps everywhere , even found the remains of a couple of old worn out rocker boxes . but no gold. There are some gulleys with old stream beds in them where the old timers removed every single rock and piled them up on the river bank , then dug down to bedrock and i assume either panned the gravels or put them through rocker boxes to get their bright n shiney nuggets. The area would have been thrashed by modern day prospectors too , there are many locals in Hill End who do it full time , and many visitors go through that popular area. I would have dug 40 bits of trash there but not a spec of gold anywhere , perhaps with trash still being there , then there is a chance nuggets might still exist but not from the days work i did there :) curious if any other members have been there - done that ?
