[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 672960, member: 4012"] In my personal experience, such areas are well worth detecting in the Golden Triangle, particularly if there are indications of surfacing anywhere along the fringes of shallow gully workings. It appears that not all the gold made it into the worked gullies, especially as these go upstream and become more shallow towards whatever was the source. The oldtimers put most of their effort into what was payable ground for them and the scattered nuggets that can be a jackpot for a patient metal detectorist, simply weren't worth the cost and effort of digging all the barren ground between them. Others here will know the Kingower area better than my 40 year-old recollection, but wasn't the Hand of Faith found in just such a location? [/QUOTE]
