[QUOTE="walshie1000, post: 156417, member: 4955"] Gday guys, I've been learning a lot from all of you and a friend that has been detecting for almost 10 years. I've managed to pick up a few pieces of gold on my few outings so far. Thanks to loamer for his post breaking down different types if diggings and what they mean. Very helpful. I thought I would ask a question as when I have been out I am sometimes questioning where I am detecting. I have pulled 2 pieces from mullock heaps and I always give them a bit of attention because I know gold was found there. These have generally been in the bottom of gullies. Some shallow holes and few 5-10 meter shafts around the sides. I also picked a piece up about 20 meters up the hill from the diggings. I'm more inclined to search away from the diggings as they obviously have been hit fairly hard however I'm having trouble determining if the gold has come off the hills or if it is alluvial wash that has been washed through the gully by old river systems. I'm guessing this would be a different answer for every area. I suppose what I'm asking is. Am I wasting my time walking on higher ground than the diggings? Up and over hills etc? Bit of a messy post but I hope I've go the message across. Greatly appreciate any replies/knowledge on the topic. Cheers [/QUOTE]
