[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 438957, member: 4386"] It was actually millions of ounces, not thousands. And the fine gold was mostly downstream - it was coarser in the headwaters, with occasional nuggets from Pennyweight Flat and upstream of it. The gold actually travelled further at Beechworth than any other goldfield in Victoria - 26 km from source from memory - there being no further gold sources downstream of the town itself, except where alluvial gold redistributed by later streams. I doubt that the asylum would be a good spot for gold detecting, but it might be productive for relics. [/QUOTE]
