[QUOTE="Geepeezee7, post: 662917, member: 23915"] Hi Goldielocks, Amazing. Thank you for your hugely insightful contributions to this forum. I’m a newbie here but I am trying to soak up as much as the information in your posts and comments as possible. I was probably going to fall for the same trap as most people and start detecting in the Qrc areas which contain the 'shallow' leads (since learnt from you they go down to 30m), working my way downhill and (across the hill) towards the gullies from auriferous reefs marked on the map. Is that a bad approach? Or would you suggest my time would be better spent searching the O and Dgr areas in the Gordon maps (and elsewhere) and in general is where one should focus attention detecting? It seems counterintuitive, as my understanding is the majority of alluvial gold in VIC existed in tertiary. However, you're suggesting (as we are armed with only the depth of a detector) that if we can find shallow areas of detritus sitting on top of O and Dgr, this is where a detector would be best served to prospect as the oldest gold deposits formed in the O and Dgr and these deposits are also the richest due to the long weathering events during the Paleogene and the alluvial gold trapped in the Tpg and Qrc areas are just too deep.
