[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 641556, member: 4485"] Don't look real scary to me. Looks like a nice line of old diggings running through there. Without knowing the area it looks like they could be following an old lead given the proximity of what appears to be the current gully or creek. Given the amount & close proximity to each other I'd assume that ground was better than marginal where you'd see only an occasional hole for testing - possibly as per the opposite side where there is only the occasional obvious digging. The area may have been fine gold so not great detecting either? What did your research tell you about gold in that area? The colouration change of the ground from left (lighter looking soil) to the right into a more reddish mineralised soil is also interesting given the diggings are in that mineralised area. Expanding your search out may find other areas where this is apparent & worthy of checking. [/QUOTE]
