Yeah please do, I would like to know where abouts you go, cause I have been using google earth and have seen some fields on the fringe of the forest near Andersons camp ground that may be good for bunnies and foxes.

Squeeze in a bit of prospecting if the hunting is now good

Done a bit of panning found a few flecks. Most of the old mullock heaps from the old mines have been turned over by prospectors anyway. I do know that there have been 1 or 2 mines started back up in Wombat SF. But there are few prospectors strolling around the place hopeing to get rich they may get lucky. But chat with the locals there is still plenty of gold to be found just need to go underground, some of the mines I have been in you can see the seams they where following.

One of my ex customers has a mine up in Wombat.
Don't think he was too successful.

How long since it was running? I thought it was nothing but long sealed up ones down there, based on people saying they nearly fell down an old shaft anyway

Would be interested in which mine he had Fuzzy.
