[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 119661, member: 414"] I used to work for a plumber when he needed a bit of help , my shovelling record per day with him was exactly 20 tonne in an 8 hour day . I don't have big arms , its all about maintaining a rhythm and bringing strength from your mind. Re crevicing , absolutely . But there are some locations that are known for only having fine gold and if its spread right through 8 feet of gravel over 400 metres of gravel bar then it becomes a volume game "for that location" I can't dig down to bedrock there as I would have 3 feet of water flowing over it when I got down to that strata no 2 locations are the same If I can dig down to find crevices I will do that any day The laws in NSW require us to fill in our holes , if not for that fact I would have spent a week or two digging down to bedrock through 6 feet of gravel in locations where I know there is very good coarse gold ,but I can't do that because of the risk somebody will turn up there half an hour before I start and accuse me of "breaching the rules" , and of course I am limited to 1 cube per day here so it would take me 30 days to expose the bedrock there.
