[QUOTE="casper, post: 456797, member: 562"] Bakers Flat is just a stones throw from Secret Hill, it's true! ......and I'm sorry to tease but you would be interested to know that the big nuggets that were found at Waanyarra were won from shallow leads (buried ancient watercourses). Certain surface vegetation growth patterns point to the location of these hidden shallow leads and the old timers would sink a shaft down to the ancient river bed and followalong them by tunnelling. The sinking at Bakers Flat was 25ft - how good is your 'tector? not to mention that digging down a mere 3ft is challenging in that country in the dry months. [/QUOTE]
