[QUOTE="Sniffy, post: 310702, member: 5571"] I can attest to that. I spent a week on a 6" in southern NZ and I was moving a serious amount of material per day. One day in particular I dredged down to 3m deep of alluvials before hitting bedrock. ( I could stand on bedrock and the water which initially was only a few inches deep was well over my outstretched hand.) It was probably 8mx8mx3m in a day - and some days moved more, the depth slowed me down. It was a hell of an experience. I spent weeks afterward dreaming dreams of all the alluvial material constantly cascading down and trying to keep up. But then I was a little mad, only getting out of the water after 10 hour stints and half hypothermic. was a long but fun week. [/QUOTE]
