[QUOTE="Teemore, post: 30243, member: 1375"] Evening all, Although querying specifically in regard to the Creswick (Vic) area the same probably applies in many other areas. There appear to be a vast number of Pine plantations that have effectively forever altered and removed any trace of what in many cases were late 1800's prospecting sites. When the pines are growing access to old ground is limited to the rows between the trees. However when the fell the tress they usually go in afterwards with bulldozers and totally rip out the left over stumps exposing, on occasions some deeper ground. 2 general queries if I may ..... Are these areas worth a going over with a detector (my second preference) or ... is it worth taking samples from some of the gullies that wash downstream after severe rainfall periods. My assumption is that if plantation area = old prospecting location then definitely worth a go. Has anyone, here or elsewhere had experience in these 'transformed' areas. Thanks, Tom [/QUOTE]
