[QUOTE="jethro, post: 535382, member: 1297"] Due to the very dry spell we've had recently, the bottom of an old alluvial drive in clayey wash has become accessible so I thought Id do a bit of a sample to try and work out the best way of treating this truely horrible wash. I took (with the help of my son) 3 buckets home to puddle in my concrete mixer.

The Gold I got was just worth it but this area has given up a few nice little slugs :goldnugget: and shotty bits.
