[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 12101, member: 414"] Thanks for the posts on oallen guys just curious if you have theories on where the gold came from being fine as it is , i am assuming it could have come from at least a 3 - 10 kilometres upstream and could have been in the reefs as fine nuggets or even slabs from ounces to kilos in size " when it was born " The quartz reefs where that gold came from could have also long been eroded from wherever they are and could be now sand out on the beach around wollongong for all i know , or the original reef might have been chiselled and picked out in the gold rush days , crushed and dumped in mullock heaps in one of the many mines up river. What i want to look for is the original sources where maybe parts of the reef might still exist , or search in the eroded gravels below them , whether they be in the river , old dried up river beds or washed down the hills to gullies in between any thortz peepil ? Yes i have good hiking boots and a swag ;) [/QUOTE]
