[QUOTE="jethro, post: 215148, member: 1297"] Hey greencheeks I think you may have been told a combination of 2 stories that orginated from up that way. The first is the legend of the tomahawk reef that was supposedly discovered on the dart river or zulu creek watershed sometime in the 1870s. Its pretty well documented (as a legend) in John Morrows book, "Tales of Gibbo Gold" . The second part about the nuggets / specimens being produced I heard from a third party that an old fellow from corryong who spent a lot of time prospecting had a collection ovf specimens in his old landrover that he used to show those he trusted. I was able to verify the name given to me through some records I had access to at the time. But not the story about the landrover & his stash. [/QUOTE]
