[QUOTE="Reg Wilson, post: 452074, member: 10941"] Sorry to correct you grubstake, but in many cases pipeclay is the bottom, formed from decomposing slate. Gold is often found in a layer of wash sitting on the pipeclay bottom, but on occasions it may be also in a thin layer just below the wash as well. Gold deep in pipeclay is a rarity, although gold can be found in pug which is another situation altogether. PS Many years ago I found pieces up to an ounce below Donkey Hill near Percydale, but this ground is now fenced off and locked. [/QUOTE]
