[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 620570, member: 2152"] I can only answer anecdotally but in terms of depth once youve gotten the upper layers theres no point going further. Close to my block they were excavating a dam in an old lead. Plenty of fines to pickers in the first few inches (from the red iron stained through to orange to white) but nothing in the side walls or piles as it went deeper. Pipeclay is a pretty good gutter trap whether its ancient marine, or younger alluvial, but if in doubt have a dig. In my local once they hit the white stuff the mullocks height stopped. My guess is because the gold did too. [/QUOTE]
