[QUOTE="Guest, post: 315737"] I have tried scapping off an inch or so off a heap then detect it. Did not get any more gold and the clay and gravel give way to topsoil and rocks. Its tough work removing the material and I reckon mostly not worth the effort. Just try and leave it as flat and natural as possible when you leave. I always kick rocks n leaves over anything I dig/scrape to conceal my presence. Having said that I detected my first speciman on an old heap and kept taking a few inches off the top each time then detect. Have pulled out about 15 specimans from the old quartz dump. I dont believe one person can do that much damage to the old working and when you walk away, a few week later it will become a normal part of the bush to the untrained eye. Personally I would love to put a small shallowing digging mullock through the highbanker to see whats there???? Cheers RS [/QUOTE]
