[QUOTE="aussiefarmer, post: 624191, member: 5729"] Ok im Southern tablelands nsw , nearest detectable Gold is 40 klms , this area has a proclaimed gold field 500mtrs up stream but with no sign of mining which is common around here as I think the old-timers told the government they were mining to keep their ground. It is close to the creek but I have only find gold specs 1.5klm up stream at a rate of one spec per 10ltrs of gravel and I know its in the creek 5 or 8 klms downstream. The reason I crushed that sample was the slate is much more like the slate in the areas that I detect than the other slate along the creek. There is alot of milky barren quarts in the local area and I was knocking slate out of the cutting face for the creek crossing when I seen the stringer and i was impressed with the rotten looking and also darker quarts plus the mineralisation and pirites. I don't expect to find payable gold around here but i would love to find a bit more of a reliable source than the creek. One of the 50 odd meter horizontal mines i refer to as barren is at Ophir and the history recons none was found , its right near the reef in the creek where they got plenty, funny thing is I walked through the mine and was dribbling at the rock and didn't read the historical documents until I got home to find out it was a dud...
