[QUOTE="Twapster, post: 136409, member: 1582"] Too true, gold is where u find it! Problem I think with these areas is the ground has probably been worked down atleast 6 foot....imagine 8000 diggers all within metres of eachother shovelling paydirt 100 years ago. Sure looks virgin today but the scale of mining back then was phenomenal, those areas may have been worked and worked so finding a fresh spot may be the issue. There were good finds all along the Turon near Sofala, and thats the problem. The town is probably sitting on some good gold! Love the area, but u really need to recognise that the old timers have given it a fair crack, gold doesnt replensh so we are left with the scraps. [/QUOTE]
