[QUOTE="jethro, post: 540116, member: 1297"] Yeah Jamie its always a bit of a disappointment when the run of good colour cuts out. It will happen eventually, So enjoy it while you can and take plenty of pics to show / impress the grandkids. Overburden is pain. I once found an old alluvial bench deposit that the Chinamen had very kindly cleared the top 5 ft of barren overburden off and then left the block of about 5 cubic metres of wash untouched. I mined that out but most of the gold was in the bottom ft of wash so had to put a short drive in under the bank of about 9ft high. I got a lot less gold than you have for a lot of work. :pickshovel: Keep the pics coming a closeup of the wash layer would be interesting too and wouldnt give your spot away. :argh: [/QUOTE]
