Hi all, Most of you have seen the small pieces of gold i have found since the start of the year. Finally last night i got the final couple of grams to make one troy oz. Picking small left-overs of a 100 years of mining is a hard work.I have included my permit to md for gold and a Government Mines department map 1913 of the area which i hunt at the moment in Calfornia Gully, The site is at the north end of the 6th richest saddle gold reef .called the Garden Gully Reef in length 25 miles long and i,m only hunting one small section of it. The yeilds of gold goes into the million of ozs and was mined from 1852 till 1954. The info and map i got under the "Freedom of Public informatiom Act" This allows average person to access old government records .A miners right is all that is required under the law to obtain gold or other minerals on both public and private land. Still need to get premission too to hunt private land. Most of the gold feilds in Victoria are on public land so i have little need to go ask private land owners. At 25 dollars [US] for 2 years seems quite fair.
