[QUOTE="Mako, post: 256581, member: 3212"] It ultimately comes down to what type of gold your looking for (ie nuggets or flour gold), and if your after processing volume or just wanting to do a few pans here & there whilst exploring the countryside. I have found the Yack / Beechworth / Stanley areas great to explore, having courser gold but much harder to find. Most if these areas are on the prohibited list and are often overgrown with blackberries etc. woolshed valley is great for good quantities of flour gold, but not for nuggets. You will get pickers if you work the bedrock crevasses crossing the creek when the water is lowest at end of summer. Given your local, try to avoid reedy during long weekends and school holidays (if you like seeing know one else around). There was good gold in other areas nearby Albury but was mostly reef / deep lead gold mining and there is very limited public access to these areas today. If you are keen for local advice and happy with meeting like minded people face to face, try the local PMAV branch at Yack. Cheers [/QUOTE]
