[QUOTE="Eski, post: 585798, member: 5138"] Where are the bonanzas of the past? i've often thought about this very question and this is what i came up with.... the bonanzas are still there but the easy ones have already been found. Some contributers to current situation... 1. mining licencing is so difficult the numberof people searching is simply not there. 2. so many people have combed over areas for the last 170 years that the breadcrums are simply not there to follow. - the trail is broken... what is worst is that someone might detect a few pieces somewhere but couldn't work out the source/pattern, but that info dies with them, the next person that walks over tha t hill has no idea that anything came out of the ground or that there might be more for that matter. 3. the oldtimers were so much more willing to rough it.... how many deep holes would an individual have dug past 6ft before they made wages? Bugger doing that now.... [/QUOTE]
