Manning River Taree

[Golden_Smoky]

I've been reading the book Gold Prospecting by Douglas M. Stone and looking at the NSW map on page 116 of that book, and it has an area marked in the Taree district on the Manning River. Is there any gold in that area and is there any for detectors or is it only river panning...please help me, as a pensioner fuel is too damn expensive to go much further than where I live in the Forster area of NSW which is only 30-45 minutes away from Taree.

I've been looking through old posts here for something that may help you, but all I've found is the one below. Seems like any Taree gold is extremely fine - only suitable for panning, I'm afraid:

I found these??
I do not know if they are helpful or not?!!
Looks like to be not too flash on the Gold front from a quick squiz through?
