P.s.. I hear the gold gods whispering Mt.Doran & Mystery Reef to me and something about pyritic seams...
what's that? The bedrock is black and blue slates and grey slates...hmm
well now someones done theyre research
sadly i havent lived there(Elaine) since the SD2000 was the newest thing and the 2100 not yet out
but i wish i new then what i do now :lol:
ok so the Mystery mine is on the Mt Eggerton road my detecting mate then (sadly deceased) was the last mine manager there before it closed
He got slammed with 8 ton mercury from a ruptured line rekons it was the hardest smak in the chest he ever got but didnt hurt much
i lived bout 2k down the road on the property called Pandora (Pandora gold mine) opposite side
where the MT Eggerton rd and MT Doran rd meet just there
the mine shaft was further down the road near Dollys Creek we used to rocka box then and used minelab GT1300 and GT1500
my buddys dad was the last Gold miner with a claim in Morrisons near by so my mate new his stuff grew up in a Gold mine shaft
we did OK cashing our find most weeks at the Gold exchange in the Rat
yes Cordell Kent had it then too
we were lucky to have permission back then to detect most of the propertys in that area thanks to me mate
i imagine much has changed since then
these days im based in south Qld and spend most/all of my time processing the shiny Yellow for others
so even though i dont get out there much i still get to enjoy the pretty
but i hope to be swinging the stick real soon again
happy hunting! Humbolt
