[QUOTE="PabloP, post: 137111, member: 4430"] Doug's maps are far from complete in any state, and I believe they just reflect areas that he has chosen to pull together after some personal prospecting and checking. Even in Victoria, he has only documented one area east of Melbourne (Beechworth) and there are dozens in the east of the state. Why, I have no idea, it is possible that many of these were fine alluvial sites and not of great value for detector based prospecting, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't or won't prospect in those areas. He has many years experience with the Mines Department and became involved in detecting early, so I found that reading his book text info was handy and interesting. He has disclaimers on almost all maps that I have looked at that say "this map does not provide or imply access to Mining Leases, Pastoral Leases, Aboriginal Land, Freehold Land or Crown Land. It is the prospectors responsibility to seek permission for access" I consider them as just one source of information that helps you to decide where you may wish to prospect. The John Tulley maps provide a bit more detail in the GT area, but again, he doesn't cover all areas in Victoria. Rob [/QUOTE]
