[QUOTE="RedDirtDigger, post: 154777, member: 2964"] Hi jess, welcome to the forum. There are a lot of gold deposits spread across your region. I lived in wagga once and did find a nugget in Temora and one near west Wyalong. To cut to the chase, do your research as mdv says, then get a dedicated gold detector and check out all the small gullies where there is bedrock in the bottom, paying special attention to where the gullies level out after a decent. If there is gold on the property then some of it will find its way into the gullies. You probably need a dedicated Minelab gold detector...a 2200 model or later to be sure. If you don't have one, someone local should have. (go halves with them for any gold they find on your property and walk around with them and have ago of the detector. And if you find some gold nuggets, maybe let them visit again once then get yourself a detector) If your research does not show any workings or mines on your place do not give up. A lack of water made recovery of gold very difficult for the 1800's prospectors out your way and they really needed to find reef mines to get gold. Without water they could not work the alluvial gold. So there are plenty of locations where there is alluvial gold that has not been touched in your general region. There are hundreds of historical (and recent)gold mines between Wyalong -Lake Cowal, Warraderry area and forbes....so you are amongst it. cheers RDD [/QUOTE]
