[QUOTE="Syndyne, post: 46749, member: 378"] Hi all, Might be worth a check again, but I'm fairly certain the area around the old falls/gold mill is off limits to prospecting. It may well be under heritage listing (even though it was partially rebuilt after the floods). We were told last year by the the Tumut Shire Council (and Vince the Adelong Ranger) to avoid that area and keep back towards town behind the location of the old dam wall (about 100mtrs or so back from the falls). There's a bit of a safety aspect too. That Granite gets a touch slippery in places. Easy to break a leg or ankle in there. A couple of good crevicing areas near the Caravan Park though. The other areas Goldrocs mentioned are ideal for a bit of a pan or some sluice action! All the best with the gold down there AK. Let us know how you get on. Cheers, Shauno. [/QUOTE]
