hi everyone, I went to a place Husstlers Terrace yesterday.This is a junction of 3 roads about 5 minute drive from my place.This hotel was built in 1873 and called The Boundry Hotel and on other side of the road is a mansion called The Husstlers Terrace.the mansion was also built in 1873 by John Emmet. John Emmet owned a gold mine behind the hotel, some 50 yards away.The gold mine had few different owners and names, but is best known and The Husstlers Extended .The main shaft was 2700 feet deep and produced 198,000 ozs of gold from 1861-1915.Under these buildings runs a saddle Quartz gold reef called husstlers.First mined in 1851 by Ben Harris [american].i couldnot get premission to hunt the mansion or the hotel site but there is plenty of public land around this site to hunt.There are lots of these sort of disused sites scattered all over the place.These sites are considered unstable ground and are not suitable to build on.Just left to stand time.Anyway i sent most of yesterday just loaming and picking the areas with the least amount of ground trash, left by others over the years 
I had a mixed day but found a couple of interesting relics and 2 silver coins aussie shilling 1907, aussie sixpence 1904.There heaps of pics of the whole place and finds.thanks for looking
