[QUOTE="Reg Wilson, post: 441372, member: 10941"] I would try the Smith's Reef area, south of the big dam. There are still a lot of targets in the ground, and you have the choice of reef workings or the alluvial gully below. The reef mines have all been pushed in, so it is quite safe for kids, although the mines north of the dam are still open and deep. Avoid that area. Many years ago a 20oz piece was detected in this area, and when I took a 'new chum' there a couple of years ago he found a golf ball sized piece of pink quartz with much gold showing. My best piece for the Maldon Newstead area was 27ozs, found about 3 years ago with a GPZ7000. I live about ten minutes drive from Smith's reef, and although this area has seen a lot of prospectors since prospecting and fossicking maps have recently been produced, there is still a chance of finding a color. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
