[QUOTE="nuggetino, post: 53496, member: 1884"] I haven't dug any big holes myself in the pursuit of deeper gold but I intend to do just that when i get out for some detecting. I hope doing research on which were the most productive stream beds in the triangle and then going out and taking a close look at an area may pay off. Lot's of detector hole digs around certain low-junk mullock heaps and a rich gold history would probably have me digging a big hole right there to see what I can throw out. I think it could be rewarding considering some of us spend 50+ hours running around with a detector for little to show. Might be more lucrative. I guess the old timers would have dug hole after hole before they hit a good bit of pay dirt. We have the equipment/freedom/information of going straight to the most productive holes and digging right up along side. Might be much better odds than 3 in 100 these days? [/QUOTE]
