Help Support Prospecting Australia:
Hey Jesse I've had a dig there on quite a few occasions and only found the odd flake, the good news is there is a reef that runs right through Enfield State Park that produced some serious mines, they would find quartz reef that was intersected by cobble which acted like a gold filter, gold nuggets the size of tennis balls apparently however there was no consistency as some loads where at 100 feet and some 300.
Ive got no doubt that if you have the right gear took your time you could find some nice pieces out there with your detector.

Morning All.
I'm a newby to Ballarat and having purchased a vlf the new problem is where do I go?
The father in law's house block backs onto the upper section of the Enfield state forrest, is it worth a walk?
Anyone with any knowledge of the area that they want to share would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Morg

In short yes, there are a multitude of tailings piles that are perfect for your VLF I found a nice specimen out there 6 months back at the base of a tailing pile. There are some known areas that produce small bits and there were plenty of football size nuggets found in the area at 20 - 40 feet. If you poke around the reefs you should be able to pick up a piece or two, the problem i see with alot of people out there is they walk through the creek and that creek hasn't run for more than a single day in this last 12 months. Its beautiful bush anyway you'll enjoy yourself out there.
Cant take credit for these maps as they were shared with me from another

Gee mate that's a pretty nice free kick. Good share Golddigg. And good luck with the vlf mate hope you find some gold.
Hope to head out today.
Can't thank you all enough. Finding spots can be a bit daunting when you are new to town, the last thing I want to do is wander into an area I shouldn't by mistake.
Once again, cheers for the leg up.

Yes they are awesome.
These maps are perfect for researching so you get a sense where the gullies are and so on.
