There are no specific gold maps for Tassie. It is very hard to find ground down there where you can swing a detector as most of the good areas are covered in thick scrub. We have detected nuggets in the Lefroy area, which is a bit clearer, try researching there. There are some historic maps on the MRT site which will show you where all the leads are that they worked.
There is also some detector friendly ground around the Mathinna and Manganna area.
Some of the ground around Beaconsfield is ok.

Any luck in Mathinna/Mangana area?

Mangana is unfortunately mostly surreounded by private property, and the hills to the NE of it have a whacking big mining lease on them, but Mathinna/Tower Hill seem quite doable.
