[QUOTE="user 14190, post: 674354, member: 14190"] Many years ago while doing my family history I found that I had a lot of relations that lived in that area and around Pudman Creek, Belmount Forest and the areas in between, only had one relative that I am aware of that actually went looking for gold and I know that he did not get rich despite having allegedly dug a number of shafts of varying depths in various areas, not a lot of information was found on him as he was always on the move. My understanding was that the only mine that was worked successfully for a few years was at Walla Walla and that was predominantly Silver, Lead and Zinc with gold a very small percentage and I know that this type of mineral was located on a number of other properties towards Dalton, but it was not talked about so the areas were not ruined as was around the Walla Walla mines. Good luck in your search, hope that you find what a lot of people have looked for in the past. [/QUOTE]
