DUNOLLY GOLD
The heart of the Golden Triangle. Home to the Welcome Stranger (world's largest alluvial gold nugget). Dunolly's forests—Waanyarra, Bealiba, and Jones Creek—are hallowed ground for serious electronic prospectors.
Monsters
Geological Intel
"In Dunolly, gold rides the ironstone. Look for patches of 'quartz and iron' wash. The ground is noisy (hot), requiring Pulse Induction (PI) technology. Slow down on the ironstone ridges; masking is common."
Operational Protocol
Warning: Be aware of "Exempt Rivers" where detecting is not allowed in the watercourse itself.
Target Profile
Famous for large, chunky nuggets. High purity (96%+). Depths range from surface sun-bakers to 1m+ monsters.
Access Intel
Vast areas of State Forest surround the town. A simple Miner's Right ($27 AUD) allows access. Ground is open ironbark forest.
Gear Selection
GPZ 7000 or GPX 6000 recommended. VLF machines struggle here due to intense soil mineralization.
