[QUOTE="loamer, post: 127550, member: 981"] Havelock - good news. I reckon you are pretty safe to have a swing in that area. Bad news - very scattered gold. The best lead is on private land (Havelock Lead). Worthwhile and accessable some years ago, but a lot of work to get on there now - fence jumpers and clowns probably ruined it for hobbyists. Crown land- scattered gold, sandy and deep in places, boggy in winter rains. Hard research will reveal EL reports which I can confirm that recoverable gold is deep and beyond detectors in most areas. Our search found about the same as EL results - we had better luck to the east on private land but uneconomical. Some surfacing that is obvious - small tiddlers as expected some years ago. Tracks are a nightmare - take a GPS. The gold run reappeared up near the winery on private land - was accessable, don't know about now. Duffy's maybe worth a crack. 2200d which you use - try a DD, despite some 'expert' opinion, mono on a 2200 in that area will encounter a lot of mineralisation. Some interesting old maps are available (parish series). Convert chains to metres etc etc and do some plotting - some interesting data but, big coil country. [/QUOTE]
