[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 80049, member: 357"] Hey Valleyboy, assume by your name its your local? I was in the Ballarat Library a while back and picked this up its a good summary of events that lead to the goldrush there kind of a non event as far as records go. While most of the gold there was small, men made a good living due to the deep lodes. The deeper they went the better the gold for example the Britannia Eclipse Mine - worked a lode from 1911 to 1913 to 150 feet in 1911- 92 tons crushed for 19 ozs, 1912 -328 tons crushed for 155 ozs, 1913 - 361 tons crushed for 178 ozs so at best 1/2 ounce per tonne. 0.2 ozs/t, 0.47 ozs/t, 0.49 ozs/t not great when compared with Ballarat but good results for today money that for sure. If your in Ballarat your welcome to borrow it for a read regardless of the gold history its a good overview of how the area was settled with relation to schools, families and farming etc. might help to get your head around the lay of the land. PM me if your coming into town [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/357/1401224148_20140528_065121.jpg[/img][img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/357/1401223780_snake_val.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
