[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 583782, member: 4386"] The only thing that I cannot guarantee is the production figure - that was simply out of my head, and it is hard to retain all the production figures for every goldfield in Victoria, especially since I make no attempt to remember those that produced less than 10 tonnes :) Yes, it is an amazing place. I just checked - about 60,000 ounces - so slightly less than 2 tonnes. The one and a half tonnes (approx 46,000 oz) that I suggested was not so far out - the grey matter has not completely seized. From memory there were also fragments of native antimony in the wash in a tiny gully o the southeast side of the field (Pinchgut? - now I am guessing). I have some idea where the gold might be coming from, but on thinking about it the last time I seriously looked at the area was more than half a century ago, although I have visited since just for the scenery.
