[QUOTE="Splinter, post: 348619, member: 10000"] Found some old workings less than 700 meters from the old Mt Taylor mine today, got off work early and thought I might go for a walk and explore, the deposit had to have been found somehow. They are on the eastern side of Scrubby Creek. Quite a bit of scattered and very waterworn quartz in the old spoil. What is a little bit discouraging is that the mine is on the opposite side of the creek and the workings are not extensive, so possibly abandoned due to being barren, but probably worth a shot with the tector. Also, from what I have read the old mine struggled with poor recovery and was using some kind of cyanide leach process, which would indicate fine gold. Might be more effective to use the pan.
