[QUOTE="boobook, post: 107720, member: 1605"] Just a hint, look outside the square for any (barely noticeable) river wash on top of higher ground, ridges etc. This is where you may find your gold. The volcanics came later in the time scheme of things, gold in the oldest river washes, gemstones from the eroding of the volcanic basalts. In the Black Springs area there are false bottoms with 1-2 wash layers beneath. I once dug a matchbox full of nice blues from 20cm. beneath the scraped floor of an abandoned dig. Spent a lot of time in that area in the early '70's. Quite an amount of gold won from Chain of Ponds. One thing you are going to find plenty of as the weather warms up, and that is angry tiger snakes. The buggers will chase you so keep a look out! 8) mike [/QUOTE]
