[QUOTE="lazypat, post: 679677, member: 23334"] Yes mate in brooklyn ave bourklands there was a gold mine its where the empty block is heading east on lhs, there was another one at the back of the golf course at pomingalana, but was blasted and filled in, as in the 1950s an old man used to guard the enterance i think he camped on the reserve, and kept the kids out. Then when they blew it up there was still a very small space and the local small kids could squeeze there way into it to have a look but a bit hard to find nowadays, the 3rd is off the wirrajurry walking track heading to kapooka heading west it was the 2nd last hill, i think mr. Winterbottom the poultry farmer did own the property at one time, the 2 p****n boys were making a small living there by blasting the quartz and crushing it, then someone built a new home near by and advised them if the blasting damaged there house foundation they would be up for an expensive repare bill, after they stopped a week later a bulldozier came in and pushed it in, the shortest way to have a look, is to walk under the railway walk tunnel and follow track to east past winterbottoms old home site and 2nd hill on rhs very easy to pick out, waggas gold to deep as no surface gold and would be to fine on top for your detector. Try some mulick heaps east of wagga is your best bet , try looking on google earth. You will mainly just find a few relicks. [/QUOTE]
