[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 673111, member: 4728"] Not dumb at all or hope not, as had the same idea myself many years ago. My FIL was a water driller from Sale and drilled many water bores around the area. There is even a picture of him on the front page of the Melbourne Sun with his hands covered in oil when he struck oil in one of his water bores at Woodside. Used to go out with him when I could to help him on the drilling rig and I was always keen to pan off likely looking material brought to the surface. Never found anything of interest around the Sale area as the aquifers there are a deep series of sandy aqueous basins interspersed with coal, oil and gas reservoirs separated by impervious clays and all overlying a bedrock up to thousands of feet of feet below.
