[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 664256, member: 4386"] Main gold area in South Gippsland is aroun d Foster and farther north at Turtons Ck but much is probably restricted nowadays. Osmiridium occurs with the gold at both localities. A bit of gold and osmiridium and agates occur around Waratah Bay and Cape Liptrap in the beach sand (near the old calcining works on the limestone). Good sapphires around Bass, You can practice your technique simply panning any patches of blackish beach sand and getting the white sand out of the pan and trying to concentrate the black sand which is heavier. You can also pan tin (cassiterite) around Toora. Minor turquoise veins south from Foster in the Ordovician rocks of the Hoddle Range. Most good gold localities are north of the Princes highway.
