[QUOTE="Ben78, post: 7942, member: 206"] But seriously.... 99% of gold here was hard rock mined and was under 10oz/t. There is a couple of alluvial fields, no deep lead though. I have personally panned enough to keep the fire alight but haven't detected any. Hasn't stopped me building my way up to having a 5000. There are people getting gold here by pan, detector and dredge. I have not seen any highbanker tailings in my travels but I daresay they are around. People keep very hush hush on their locations. You may have seen a video on youtube talking about Star Creek? Yes there was gold in Star Creek. I have personally panned there, clay from bedrock on the inside of a corner, washed clay from roots and seen no colour. But the hardrock mines are there so there must havebeen gold in the creek. If you are on Facebook add yourself to [url]http://www.facebook.com/groups/coffsharbourgoldhunters/[/url] only a small group but you'll get locations and ideas on who's finding what. (For anyone else reading I am pretty strict on who I add to the group as I only want people who will be actively working in the Coffs area to be on the group) [/QUOTE]
