[QUOTE="RedDirtDigger, post: 79708, member: 2964"] Its hard to offer educated advice not knowing the exact situation that you face Goldtarget, however i have had some luck by always searching out shallow ground underlaid by bedrock. Because most drainage lines migrate to the left or right over even a few tens of thousands of years its always worth sampling off shallow bedrock near a gully (if there is some present). If there is any shallow bedrock near the gully on the inside of any bends (ala well known traditional sampling methods) i would try there, even if some distance from the gully. If the gravel spread down your gully is feeding in from one point on a slope somewhere it may be worth considering moving up slope at the point in the gully where the gravel is first seen. I realise what i am saying is basic but i thought i would throw it in anyway. good luck Goldtarget Cheers RedDirtDigger [/QUOTE]
