[QUOTE="loamer, post: 97934, member: 981"] I don't have a photo but the last big gold rush in Victoria was at the Posedin Lead, just near Laanecoorie Vic. All now on private land. I spotted a set-up the other day on a lead across from Posedin. (It's on the Laanecoorie -Newbridge Rd if anyone is out that way) Mid-size-trommel, conveyor belt, excavator and other assorted pieces of gear. I think the 'mining' around our area seems to be small scale like this, send it through a crusher and wash plant and take it from there. It appears to be digging straight down onto the old lead and creating an open-cut, extract the gold, refill and revegitate. Another popular way is to simply doze through the old leads and detect/speck behind the dozer scrapes. These all seem to be on private land. [/QUOTE]
