[QUOTE="loamer, post: 45034, member: 981"] That's a very interesting question. Having no idea what state you are in I would just like to say that if you can some idea as to what geological era your primary gold was found in, then that could correlate to the map. (is it lower palaeozoic for example) Also, which way do your reefs systems run? What were the indicators of gold? Are there dykes (and what type of dyke), faults, reefs, granite inclusions etc. Correlate the maps with any Deep Lead maps you may have as well (Deep Leads will be too deep to detect usually). Look for gullies in your virgin area with the same geological attributes. Just because the maps are not marked as 'gold workings' etc, I can tell you that walking these unmarked grounds will surprise you and that there may in fact be some diggings or test areas. Remember - the old blokes had to try and get an ounce a week to survive - what was a shizer for them can be 'gold' for us. [/QUOTE]
