[QUOTE="Wintersnake, post: 136515, member: 1598"] Met a few guys out in the mapped areas (between linton and snake valley), Most swing 5k's and not doing so well however lately the SDC guys have been killing it! I use a modded GP extreme and stay a long way from the doug stone maps. On the other side of the Carngham - Linton road gets a lot less attention but old workings show Lots of alluvial surfacing of ancient river gravels/conglomerate. If you do take a look on the other side of the road enter near the water tank on the hill top and move towards Linton as the other way will put you on private property eventually. Another thing is take a propper 4WD you'll know why when you get there. For anyone else that is looking out snake valley way this area has the site of the last know Puddler operation in Victoria. I believe it was last used in 1984. Historically Most of the gold wasn't found out where the Doug stone maps are but very close to the current snake Valley township. The Original Snake Valley town ship was at Preston Hill making Preston hill Rd the main st of snake Valley. [/QUOTE]
