[QUOTE="boobook, post: 410676, member: 1605"] Years ago when living in that area we used a 4' length of 3/8" steel rod, flattened at one end and a Tee handle on the other. Many of the creek systems, especially in flatter areas, moved from their original course in an ever widening arc on bends. We used the rod as a "drill" to get down through loam/silt on the inside of a creek bend looking for gravels at a diggable depth. Never found much in the way of stones at Burraga (garnets) but did ok on fine gold before the mine was opened. Mike [/QUOTE]
