[QUOTE="Ryan27, post: 23092, member: 1074"] The Buckland river is a good place for hard rock mines ( north east Vic ) Yakandandah, Head waters of Nine mile, I think it's called wombat mine, has others in close proximity. Picture of mine and battery can be found on Google earth. In fact google earth is a good tool for locating mines. Look for known goldfields, zoom in on photos that bush users have uploaded, find the pictures of interest eg: old boilers, stamp head battery crushers(most) are in parts on the ground. When you find a boiler or old process/crushing equipment, the mines are close! Generally at a higher altitude. Easier on the pack horses. To carry ore down hill. The Golden triangle is a bit different process, you need to buy a map of area of interest. I generally buy John Tully maps as well as Doug Stone maps. I have found that sometimes the location of noted mines can vary a bit. Unfortunately I don't have GPS details. Hard rock mining/prospecting is not my sport. Hope this is a little help. [/QUOTE]
