[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 664344, member: 4386"] I have a highly reliable case at it being economic 25 km downstream from source (Eldorado). as very fine gold. But in general 400 m for very coarse gold, less than half that for big nuggets, a couple of km max for any economic gold in general (with the rare exception). The old timers often mistakenly thought it travelled further because reefs in much of Victoria strike north-south and palaeodrainages ran north-south, so they were being constantly replenished by new gold coming from reefs on either side of their valleys.
