He's pretty irate at the moment with known "Named" mine shafts showing up on his property, when they're no where near there and across the other side of a major river from him. Getting lots of trespassers on his land by people looking for these mines, thinking they're accurately marked. They're correct on the Geo Map, but not on Dougs maps. Personally know of many similar errors myself.
In saying that, they're an OK map to get you " In the vicinity ", if you don't want to spend time researching mines department records, and Geological maps.

Maybe one day when my legs give up on me I'll put my research folders and mud maps to pen and paper. Much of my folders are from info passed down from some pretty old prospectors, many who are no longer with us, and as such I respect them too much to share their locations. A prospectors journal will be definitely on the agenda sometime down the track.
