[QUOTE="Goldchaser1, post: 525475, member: 9528"] Ive read of him a bit gold legend,there was an old report somewhere i read of them finding a 1oz in the garden of the old pub he frequented when he came to town. My father and i worked on Tolwong station when i was in my teens so 35+ yrs back,Harold and Ron crisp were alive and well back then,the first time we were out there harold took us across the paddocks behind the homestead,we went over to a spot where you had a good view of the shoalhaven river,i remember harold tellin the story as we were looking down the gorge of billi and his gold,harold pointed to a spot and said thats roughly the area where hed get his gold,i think there might be a billi bullus bluff on the maps maybe? Theyd just got there first television (a tiny b&w) at tolwong then,it was exciting times for them. Im not sold on the story of a rich reef in that area but its a great old story no doubt,lotsa gold in that river so i think its possible he rolled into nowra with a bit sometimes. I walked some of that country probably 15yrs later when i got interested in detecting,there is some old workings down tims gully,also called peach tree canal. Definetly interested in your book when its finished,id love a copy..... [/QUOTE]
