[QUOTE="Keen Ken, post: 149214, member: 211"] As far as I am aware the reef gold in the Paradise gold field is finely disseminated in the gray bands of the quartz reefs. Not a lot of "free gold" was associated with this field. To find a nugget would be very unusual. I have family up that way and have been shown some old mines on private property some years ago. Tried panning some of the creeks but the same as you only found very few very small specks. Apparently there was some alluvial gold found near the River but I can't recall finding any documentation. Any alluvial diggings would have probably been where the dam is now. [/QUOTE]
