Search my mum's land (near Forster NSW)!

[MALONE]

For 35 years every local has insisted that my mums creeks had the most gold in the area back between the two big wars. id believe it, it seems to have all the tell tale signs of it including having several well known mines just over the hill (the big wonder). Mums finally selling the place and ive never had a proper look, id be happy for someone to take what they find. wed just like to know if all the years of talk were true. It's only a half hour to Forster NSW but there's plenty of room on the farm to camp, its 500 acres with several kilometres of bedrock creeks all easily accessed by car.
any ideas?

Hi, Sean. Have you thought of buying a gold pan or panning set and having a try yourself in the creeks?

It sounds like an offer too good to pass up for somebody local. I'd give it a go but it's a 92 hr return trip and I have to be home by the end of the week.

Hi Sean, I would love to have a look but wont be able before september.
Can you message details?

Hi Sean, I'd love prospect around your creeks, please contact me by PM so we can arrange a visit.

 

[Metalhead]

I also can have a look for you at the creeks for alluvial gold and also my partner and I have detectors as well. Pm me for details to organise dates etc.. happy to work in with others as the more that look the better of an idea you will have.

Hi Mackka

Thanks for that, has the property been sold yet, if not would you Mother mind me going over there for a pan and detect session?

Yours in Gold

Cheers.dave.

Yes Google Maps, first search the destination and then put in the starting point. it usually gives a couple of route options.
