Ghin Ghin goldfield

Ghin Ghin is gold ghost town north of Yea. Most locals think the chinese got all of the gold but it still holds a few secrets.
Mostly is private property now so check before you detect.

"A party of men at the head of the Pales.
tine Lead, Ghin Ghin, picked up this week a
nugget weighing 17oz. about eighteen inches
from the surface, and another p arty of men,
two or three claims away from the latter,Fix this text
washed up a 7oz nugget. Those are the
heaviest finds I have heard of since the place
has been rushed, though I have see pieces
of gold from one claim varying fro' ^. dwts.
to 2oz. It is a curious tfct that the heaviest
gold on this lead is found near the surface,
and I have seen a Odwil piece found under a
tuft of grass."
