[QUOTE="Guest, post: 76471"] Kingsolomon, That was from about roughly 40 sieves and about 3 hrs work??? The stones seem to be only in the creek and the wash layer seems to be only about 150mm deep then you strike thick white clay. I have tried to go deeper but there seems to be no bottom to it??? The creek is more like a stream on top of the mountain and is only about 50 to 100mm deep and barely flows. Highbankers are out of the question, not enough water to feed them. I did take up a black rectangular tub from Bunnings, complete with lid carrying the sieves, pans, pick. Filled it with water from the stream with the gold pan and had a small collapsible stool so I could sit down and sieve into the tub. far easier on the back not squatting down into the stream. I hope that the water in the tub was getting a bit warmer than the snow melt by the end of the day? I am getting to old and smart to be a purist. It was much easier on the back! Im off to work now, I ll PM you later. Cheers [/QUOTE]
