NO DETECTING anywhere in the Steiglitz area

How confusing, ran into the Park Ranger at Steiglitz today! After reading the litreture (prospecting guide)given to me when buying my Miners right in the Geelong state offices. My hubby and i decide to go detecting in the Historic Park! This is not allowed! Nowhere in any area of Steiglitz can you detect. Information is miss leading ha ha ! Annoyed and looking for next adventure to start!

Hi K-girl and welcome to the site. I got this of Parks Victoria web site and a cording to this you can prospect but with a pan only. No detecting but panning yes and only in a curtent area.

it's a bit jumbled up but just pan down and you will come to the prospecting section.

Situated between Geelong and Ballarat, Steiglitz is almost a ghost town today but in the 1860s and 1890s it was a busy goldmining township with hotels, shops, churches and a population of over 1000. At the height of the 1860s gold rush, Steiglitz township had more than 1500 residents, four hotels, a newspaper, a variety of shops and even an undertaker.

Now most of the town and its surroundings are included in the Steiglitz Historic Park. Enjoy a pleasant bushwalk, relax with a picnic or pan for gold. Of course, a trip to the park wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Steiglitz Court House, with its display of photographs, maps and relics of gold year. The court house is open on Sunday and public holidays, and at other times by arrangement.
