[QUOTE="Dragon Man, post: 404790, member: 10704"] Just found this old thread. I live in Snake Valley and have never found anything by either panning or detecting (except the usual horseshoes, nails, etc). I have even heavily scoured my own acres. BUT! 5 minutes down the road in Linton, 10 minutes to Scarsdale, and 10 minutes to Smythesdale and alluvial gold is easy pickings. Some small nuggets have also been recently found in Scarsdale. Detecting is hard work in the forests around here (Linton, Scarsdale, Smythesdale), but some people still find the occasional small nuggets. To my knowledge there is only 1 active private small scale mine still being worked in this area but I don't know if it is paying. The owner doesn't talk :| In this whole area Linton seems to give the best results panning. But I have better results in Nerrina and Creswick so I go there. [/QUOTE]
