Summary
The photographer notes: Dedicated prospectors, using metal detectors, can find many nuggets in the region [of the Eastern Goldfields]. Claim jumping is still treated as a serious offence so if the mood takes you to try your hand be sure you are on unclaimed ground or have permission from the owner to prospect.
