[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 488415, member: 4386"] I had a look at Berlin and found little accessible ground (private). No, the granite has little to do with the gold, most of the granite (eg Mt Moliagul range to the north) postdates the gold. The "granite" referred to in old reports is actually diorite in just a few tiny intrusions - it pre-dates the gold and is cut by some gold veins, but is probably no better than the surrounding rocks for prospecting, the gold was not brought in by it, it is simply older and already there, so the gold cut it as with all the rocks already there. Catos =- the potato paddock (potatos being nuggets) was noted for nuggets at surface obtained by simply turning the ground over with picks and shovels without sluicing. Private land and thoroughly gone over. Others may know the area better than me, but I always thought poor access limited its interest. You seem to be confusing different ideas - hard rock gold and alluvial gold. It affects where you detect..... [/QUOTE]
