[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 515171, member: 4386"] Shakergt, you have the relevant info for your area now. But realise that it varies from area to area (what you now know would apply throughout the Eastern Goldfields I guess, and that might keep you busy prospecting for the rest of your life unless you move). Yet you didn't say where you were. Keep in mind that if you do go elsewhere, gold will be in rocks of a different age and the gold may be of a different age. Also, where you look depends on the type of gold you are chasing, even where you are. Alluvial gold will be in stream gravels (which may be young in valleys or old on hillsides). Reef gold may be in the older Archaean rocks. Lateritic gold associated with ironstone and laterites. And eluvial gold washing down the hillside from most of these sources. [/QUOTE]
