[QUOTE="AusFX, post: 138998, member: 3087"] Yeah lets not have any GPZ bashing here, there are plenty of other threads for that. Besides, it finds buckshot just as well as the GPX so I know it works ;) I had a bit of an explore around the pine plantations west of Creswick, the ground was much easier to dig than Talbot and not as mineralised. It was marked on the Tully map as 'Shallow ground, good gold' so I figured it could be a great spot. But no luck. I do however think I found a quartz reef not marked on either of the maps I have for that region. Once more plenty of buckshot, a few bits a random metal. My piece of advice for the day, don't go down forestry roads in a ford Falcon, you will definitely get stuck for a good few minutes... not that I would ever do that... Again... I'm going to head back there tomorrow morning and have a bit more of an explore. If I don't have any luck there I might move a few KM's to where there have been diggings before or pick an area below Creswick to check out. [/QUOTE]
