Came across this Monument way back in the early 1980s got a signal about 75 yards away from it. I started digging a hole with high hopes. That hole was the deepest that I have ever dug for a target. 2½ feet deep and all I got was an old axe head. The photo show some of the ground type I search in Maryborough Vic. Aus.

Blackmans Lead at Maryborough. Ive got gold quite close to that. According to Dunn's nugget book, it was found at a depth of 6ft on 15th Jan 1858. I also first saw the monument back in the 80's. Brings back memories....

Got a few there also but they were not quite the same size as the one on the Monument. 🤩
