It can be found near a bend of a river or underground in a mine. It can usually be found in quartz.

6. Law and Order Law and order on the goldfields was ok, many said that is was poor. In later years it became better as more people were moving to mine or pan for gold. As more bushrangers came to the goldfields Law and Order was more tight. Many people were fined using the gold they had found.

7. Bushrangers Bushrangers were everywhere on the goldfields, in some ways bushrangers were useful. They kept police on their toes and gave them a job. But sometimes the weren't useful most of the time they would hide in bushes or behind trees then someone would come past with a bag of gold and they would jump out in front of them and steal the bag of gold.
