[QUOTE="Oz_Gold, post: 118369, member: 3286"] Guys thank you for your input and help! It's appreciated...so we're back from Beaufort! No colour to show sadly but my technique has definitely improved (or the detectors better lol - we used GPX5000s) as I was picking up quite small pieces of shot etc from around 15cm or so deep. I've got lots more questions after having been out there but I'll save that for another topic. We're going to try again when the weather is a little more friendly - stinking hot out there today, and we'll probably head to another field. One point I noticed on GeoVic - there is also a shallow/deep lead alluvial deposit key (pink for shallow/red for deep) - would that help give an indication as to the depth of alluvial gold (obviously yes). What I mean by that question - in beaufort the alluvial is deep so, and please bare with me and correct me if I'm wrong, there'd be two ways of finding gold here: 1) knowing where the reef is and working the shed east and west of the reef (of which I couldn't find any mapping indication as to where the reefs are - is beaufort an older field than those further north in terms of geological age?) 2) working around the old deep alluvial diggings hoping that the old timers have missed some Does that then mean that, let's take for example maryborough, I noticed some shallow alluvial leads (pink colouration) there, does that then mean that, in maryborough, there'd be more areas where the gold is within detectable range and you'd then be detecting more on reef shedding rather than hoping the old timers have missed stuff when working the deeper alluvial? It also seems the reef locations are a bit better known in maryborough too [/QUOTE]
