[QUOTE="aussiefarmer, post: 290383, member: 5729"] I talked to 5 people on sunday and they all failed to detect a nugget a couple said they got 3 or 4 the year before , so i was lucky , i am sure someone might have got a few but i havent heard of it yet. I found ground with old lead that wasnt disturbed in recent times but it was clean of gold , i even had targets hidden by sticks or roots and even on ground to steep to stand on but they were lead as well. It was harder to find than i expected. i thought there would be ground with zero signals and some surfaced areas were that way ,thats when i would get inventive and seek hard to detect spots but that only gave junk as well. The little nugglet i got was just off the surfaced area within a foot of a tree and in between about 7 scratchings from other detectorists. Seen plenty of unfilled holes and some modern rubbish that was a shame , also found one area with metal junk from many years even shafts used as tips probably used ever since the rush. Also correct me if i am wrong there was a trailer mounted trommel driven by a petrol motor being used , is that legal in nsw ? Anyway my prospecting mate got 200 odd tiny colours in his pan so he was happy , 28 in his first pan. [/QUOTE]
