[QUOTE="Oldfella, post: 118065, member: 3219"] Hi Fabos, I know the area well, Gladstone, Calliope, Many Peaks are gold bearing areas, but mainly fine reef gold not suitable for detecting, though I have heard of a few nuggets being found, but don't know if it was factual. Norton Goldfields just out of Calliope is in operation again and would be a possibility for your 2300 if you could gain permission to detect there. Approx. 50 Kms NW of Rockhampton is a good area for nuggets, and if you do a Google search for Rockhampton Gold Nugget finds etc., you will come up with a few areas. Mount Larcom's gold is fine and you can get it in the creeks from the mountain, it is very dull and brassy looking. if you are exploring Mount Larcom, be very careful as there are many deep shafts that give no warning to there existence. Cheers [/QUOTE]
