[QUOTE="loamer, post: 90137, member: 981"] Wooly [b]Heaps of diggings[/b] is an indicator that gold was somewhere around the area. The majority of diggers holes were duffers - zip, nil, etc. You have to research where the richest areas of the fields actually were. This may involve some library visits to read old reports and check old maps. The Victorian Rewards Committee reports can give some indications at times. A lot of info is NOT on the 'net and tracking down old maps with the notes written for them can be a great detective hunt. It took me 6 years just to track down just one set of map notes. [b]Swing speed[/b] is deadly. Too fast - forget it - too slow - can be just as bad. From the looks of those finds, I would say you are doing OK for speed, those look like some seriously small finds.
