[QUOTE="navieko, post: 52768, member: 988"] Cheers Myles. I can't say I know exactly what the process is - maybe it was once clay that turned to rock, and then it breaks down over time and the process starts anew - but I can say that the dark blue decomposing slate material probably had the most consistent amounts of gold in it compared to the other types of materials I tested with the pan. Don't know if it'll always be the case, but next time you see it - go for it, I'd be very interested in hearing if it's a consistent thing all around! In the hole I dug, I probably went down about 60-70cm of various layers of large boulders, sand, gravel, mud, and solid slate which I had to pry out before I got to this decomposing slatey mud.
