[QUOTE="loamer, post: 131481, member: 981"] ..back to the topic. The quartz reef/blow is still there because it was a duffer. These things were all over the goldfields, had good gold and were generally hit up after all the easier alluvial was gone - Clunes is an example. It has been tested many times over the years for about a nil return. You will see attempts by the old timers to dig into it. They were not dumb - had a try and called it quits. I have seen VLFs, PIs etc all over it and never heard of any success. Save your time and pick - go elsewhere around Talbot Amherst but remember this - highly mineralised ground, the ground depth is all over the place and it can be very,very rewarding for good prospectors who know how to read the ground but a nightmare otherwise.
