[QUOTE="DrDuck, post: 444242, member: 158"] Yep, Gimp has it right. Apparently the earliest prospectors could use a tablespoon to to pick up the gold in exposed bedrock riffles. Reports of ounces to the pan were common, and a couple of blokes with a cradle could recover multiple ounces a day. I saw an early report on Trove of two blokes and a boy at Tuena recovering 20 ounces a day with a cradle and pans. You have to be a lateral thinker and avoid those crevices where every man and their dog has been poking about over the last 50 years or more. [/QUOTE]
