[QUOTE="echidnadigger, post: 29594, member: 719"] Hello, Where you are going is as good a spot as any. I would recommend getting John Tullys map of the area and go for your life. The grass is not greener on the other side of the fence so stay close to Castlemaine is my tip. Whithin half an hour is all good. There is lots of history in the area. There is a historic overlay on a lot of the area (look into this) so its ok to take gold but dont take relics. The area has been hit hard by detectors for years but so have most, so there is still a chance. A good little town not to far away is Maldon. If your into history its worth a look. I have found lots of gold in the areas around Castlemaine so it is still possible. I am not sure that your detector is up to finding small bits in the hot ground around there but is worth a try. Many old tokens have been found around Castlemaine. Be careful though as they are relics as I already stated, look into the overlay. [/QUOTE]
