[QUOTE="Purplepossum7000, post: 118102, member: 4204"] I've used Doug's map as my primary info source for years. THey are in my glove-box on every trip. They may not be deadly accurate but they don't need to be. THey give you a very good idea of where to start looking and from there, once your 'feet on the ground' you can work out yourself the best spots to search. There is nothing to beat a short walk through the bush to see for yourself what has been happening in the area. The more you walk around and observe & ask yourself - "What happened here" or "What can I interpret from what I see" the more you'll learn to read the ground. On a different topic you raised, the way to tell a reef mining shaft from a Deep Lead shaft, look at the overburden or mullock. Reef mines will always have jaggered broken rock from their digging into the vergin rock, Deep leads will include some river smooth rocks from the ancient alluvial stream bed. [/QUOTE]
