[QUOTE="Oz_Gold, post: 117743, member: 3286"] MJB, thanks so much for your feedback - it makes perfect sense! So, one could almost assume, that the gold in those gullies (referenced in the previous picture) is shallower than in the below image. So is there any way of determining, from geological information/maps, whether the gold is likely to be deep or shallow? Or is it just a matter of connecting the dots in a sense? I have been told that if there is a shaft at the top of a hill you should work down from it in to the gully below - I'm guessing there is the potential that gold brought out of the shaft may have been dropped/missed but also that the gold bearing gravels might have come closer to the surface further down the hill. I'm sumising from the GeoVIC data (which is kind of backed up in Doug Stone) that the deeper shafts (that are still apparent) are in a concentrated area which suggests the gold is deeper down - so, in those areas, you'd be best to focus around the mullock heaps etc and run under the assumption that they didn't get everything? Am I drawing the right conclusions?[img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/3286/1417053839_shafts.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
