[QUOTE="Geepeezee7, post: 663072, member: 23915"] Reading your content is both [I]thoroughly [/I]enjoyable and educational. Thank you so much for your response. So it sounds like if goldierocks was to go detecting in central VIC goldfields, goldierocks wouldn't be running over the surface of the shallow lead areas shown on the maps, other than collars of the old shallow lead shafts (which are generally hard to see now, but can possibly be delineated via geovic) and potentially surrounding areas in search of some redistributed gold from the same. 1) Perhaps it is better to chase eluvial gold with a Z7? I would imagine exposed auriferous reefs would be the priority target areas (even though they have been worked). The idea being to work downhill and across the slope from exposed auriferous reefs, and into the modern gullies to find nuggets old timers a) were not looking for (in searching for the source) and b) didnt have detectors to 'stumble' upon during their loaming process. 2) I'm wondering if it would be possible to delineate (via geovic or similar) exposed auriferous reefs vs auriferous reefs at depth? 3) Is it worth searching for eluvial gold downhill of auriferous reefs that are at depth? I've noticed that the depth of reefs is not shown on geovic. Would depth of the reefs be a consideration in the hunt for eluvial gold? Perhaps its a matter of extrapolating data from the mines/shafts nearby. [/QUOTE]
