Seventeen areas in the South Island have been declared to be gold fossicking areas, allowing miners to fossick for gold without a permit. These areas are located in Nelson-Marlborough and the West Coast, Central Otago and South Otago. Alluvial gold can be found in low concentrations in all the fossicking areas. [8]

A 15-year-old boy was rescued from a Northern California mine shaft, officials said Monday.
Prospectors continued fossicking around the old workings and during 1964–65 the recovery of two tons of handpicked specimen stone yielding 2,787 ounces of gold was reported. In 1986 claim holders used excavators to rework the Top Camp diggings and some coarse nugget gold was recovered before the field was abandoned.
This mine was known initially as Golden Gate No.8 North and is located at the western end of the Golden Gate complex, between Rogers Gully and Golden Gate Creek. A 4-foot-6-inch (1.37 m) reef, located at 86 feet (26 m) in 1893, produced 363 ounces (10,300 g) of gold that year. [1]
