Thanks. I’m planning to live in the Greymouth area with no where specific. I can get a 4wd.
An open question I realise but looking for something to occupy my spare time and enjoy the outdoors. Cheers.

Just strick a deal with a claim owner and sluice on a claim, even the public fossicking areas produce good gold occasionally, I just spent new year up there and found 2 guys who would let me on their claims to play - they both average 20g a day! How much beer can you drink :slight_smile:

Nzpam website will tell you who owns what on the map, the old paydirt website also has the info. You’ll find most of the owners on here.
