[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 441040, member: 4386"] Agree completely. In Victoria, alluvial gold would occur up to 30 cm or so into the weathered bedrock clay beneath the gold-bearing gravel, and because cracks in the bedrock provided good gold traps, it could yield significant alluvial gold. Horse-operated circular trenches called "Puddlers" were used to break down this sticky clay to release the gold. [/QUOTE]
