[Nuggy fever]

Hi All, just wanted to ask for some more info on deep leads (ancient river steams/beds) around Victoria, in particular near Red Hill area, can someone advise how I can research this as I'm curious if there is much (or any) in that vicinity. I am hoping an old timer might be able to assist or someone tech savvy can shed some light on this for me.

Thanks in advance All

Went through the Red Hill area with a mate a number of years ago looking for detecting and panning prospects. From memory He had a map that showed some goldworkings in the area but I cannot seem to find that now.
I think we got access to Dunns creek in one spot for a few unsuccessful pans. We also noted some diggings on a nearby property but generally it wasn't promising because of the large scale of private property holdings in the area.
Never to say never though, as there is a belt of Ordovician rocks through that area and maybe a careful scan of roadside reserves and cuttings for indicative gravels may disclose some elevated lead opportunities.
In summary however, if I was in the area again, I think I might spend my time at one of the local wineries.

Geovic has the ability to show deep leads. Easiest way is to select the prospecting layer
