There has been a lot said about that area on blogs here, but the yield was not gigantic and is difficult to separate from Beechworth and Harrietville (they used to all be in the "Beechworth Mining District"). Probably larger than places like Alexandra though, but Buckland Valley had negligible hard-rock production and was soon worked out (the volume of alluvial in those deep, narrow valleys was limited). As the map says, it includes fields with more than 500,000 oz production - it is uncertain that either of those fields would have exceeded that. There are scores of fields not shown with lesser production, as I mentioned.
500,000 ounces is probably a bit out there particularly when people are looking for areas to have a prospecting holiday. Many posts in here mention areas that prob didn’t make 500k cut.
