[QUOTE="PabloP, post: 378843, member: 4430"] Doug, I have had a bit of a play in the area, but not with a pan or High banker, just using a detector. One of the challenges that you will have is that many of the historic gold bearing streams are on the exempt list, so no prospecting in the stream locations is allowed. So you need to work away from the exempt streams and that is not good for a pan or banker and taking pot luck with the detector. So far I have only found junk (shells, shot, etc) in the area. So nowadays when visiting the area I tend to just do so more as a tourist, mainly to look at the old sites and enjoy the bush. I still take a pan in the vehicle and have a couple of streams not on the exempt list to check when I have time. Use the following link to check if a stream is on the exempt list and there are lots of them, so don't get caught playing in the wrong stream.
