Lost treasure of the Derwent Sparrowhawk Gully 1851

[tinpan]

With gold rushes happening all over the colony of Victoria in 1851, there seemed just to be no end of new finds and locations on a day to day.Many of the smaller rushes that only produced moderate returns to the miners where quickly left as most moved to more promising grounds.But little did the miners know much small gold was left untouched in some of the lesser gullies of the rush.Over the the past couple of months i been working these lessser gullies.quite a task at hand as most gold left is at depth so time for p1 unit and dig all targets.Getting a half gram to 4 grams pieces and some afternoons nothing.Well heres what i recovered from a long forgotten gully in the past 6 weeks.

thanx for the replies, Well to answer the question on what i,m going to do with the gold.I,m going to buy my wife a new car when i have enough.

i was forced back to the gold feilds as most sites i use to have are hunted out and theres new laws about where you can hunt now.Most of the best spots here come under a new herritage law which means when old buildings are removed theres a historical report sub-mitted by Herritage Victoria. There use to be or there once was HMMMM how things change
