[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 678707, member: 3960"] I've been reading River of Gold [B]tells the story of the Palmer River gold rush, during which Cooktown grew to a 94-pub town with a hundred tons of gold recovered in 10 years[/B]. Of course with hundred tons of gold taken in those first 10 years and surely more than that since it might be getting a bit thin on the earth but nobody gets it all. With such a history of alluvial gold right over the mountain you must have a good chance of finding gold. This book has mud maps and some fantastic violent history but some of the region is out of bounds to anybody swinging a detector. [/QUOTE]
