[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 672144, member: 4485"] IMO it would be very dependent on the area. If the source is low, relatively flat or on only a slight slope then I'd expect the larger bits to not travel too far. The smaller bits could be moved a lot further with weather events etc. than the large. On steeper slopes though gravity also plays it's part so along with weather events it can help the bigger bits move further. Where these free nuggets end up then starts another cycle in their travels. At some point they will end up somewhere that gravity loses a lot of it's effect on movement, i.e. flat bench, low point of gully/waterway etc., so it's then more likely that smaller bits will again move further with weather events, stream action etc. [/QUOTE]
