[QUOTE="Goldfield Joe, post: 100680, member: 3537"] Well I went out for a few hours again yesterday, tried some existing old timer's workings. Got some Fuggets but no gold 8.( For those of you who have found gold in these types of spots, do you specifically work only old diggings areas or do you look for new areas as well? A bloke I know who is quite successful said he's always on the lookout for places the old timers didn't dig in known gold bearing areas. He told me to look for Quartzy gravel in places. The trouble is, just about everywhere I go is Quartzy and gravelly. But this looks suspiciously like areas that have been Surfaced down to bedrock. I would hate to spend day after day looking only to find I'm wasting my time. [/QUOTE]
