[QUOTE="loamer, post: 87502, member: 981"] Ahhhh Dunolly. 'Finders' on Broadway - geez mate- that's going back. I remember the Moliagul Pub would be packed out as well. When the Royal and the Railway were both open, bloody fights on a saturday night. I kid you not, I remember going down to get the papers on Sunday and the empty shot gun shells littered the streets. I remember the big nugget finds just before every school holiday and long weekend. Also the newbies who used the tip 'get to know the locals'. yeah right - rock up to the central Vic pubs and ask the locals "I say old chap - where is the gold located? One would like to go detecting." To this day it still happens. Frosty reception is the nicest thing I can say about that. Back to big machinery - I think the last big mechanised pushed area would have to be the old rifle range two or so years ago on the road to Eddington. I think Millsy and some of his crew were involved - not too sure of the result as there was an awful lot of lead to be removed. The activity around the Poseidon Lead is interesting, there appears to be a large trommel on the western side, diggings on the east along the ridge line and some serious equipment moving about. All private land of course. I actually found a very small surfaced area on the road-side verge around there and did OK for sub-gram tiddlers - was marked on an old map. The private land between German Gully and Chisolms running down towards the Slip-Up Lead - looks very inviting. Been on with big coils but no machinery. All sheep grazing through there and crops down to the Loddon. [/QUOTE]
