[QUOTE="BobDigger, post: 348723, member: 9665"] A mullock heap can be anything from a small pile of dirt next to an old diggings hole to something huge like you'll find near the old North British mine on Parkins Reef Road. With the SDC you should look around areas that were shallow diggings. Also look around the mullock heaps on deep leads where you may find small gold missed by the old timers - however many of these have been pretty well gone over during the past 30 years or more. With the GPX have a look around areas where quartz reefs were shedding gold and check out the gullies and hill sides down from those reefs. There's plenty of places where gold is still found, however you're going to need to do your research to find them. It's been raining this evening in Maldon and still is, hopefully the weekend is better. [/QUOTE]
