[QUOTE="JD3, post: 558268, member: 18172"] When I started detecting back in 1990 I searched a lot of stuff at the mines dept on microfiche, spent hundreds of hours there. And saw what I believed very credible reports of nuggets from Mount Alexander road between Moonee Ponds and Essendon found by early road workers as well as reports of reefs and nuggets from much of the Melb metropolitan areas. Them being very early were dismissed as silly "gold was not to be found in that type of country" as were many early gold reports from country Vic at the time. History tells the true tale that gold did in fact exist. Unfortunately in Melb, by the time it was fully realised the true extent of Australia's, Victoria at least, wealth in potential gold, they had built on it. Who knows what crazy rich finds lay beneath the Melbourne and surrounds city scape!? Personally, I think a fortune. [/QUOTE]
