[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 667645, member: 4728"] Hi Gambusino. Is that the Olmue in Chile? A special welcome and hope our Aussie gold prospecting experience can be helpful. I would imagine some of the rivers coming down from the Andes would exceed our creeks in size and volume. Large water flows may have carried large numbers of small gold specks far from their origin Caspers advice above would be the best we would generally offer. The only other thing I would add would be that if you are planning a large dredging or sluicing operation then do as Caspar suggests a methodical approach which would involve taking samples not only across but also up and down stream and build up the set of coordinates into a matrix. That would involve more time and effort in taking larger number of samples, but you could estimate the amount of recoverable gold and the viability of your planned operation. If on the other hand you are just planning a small scale hobby type operation, again as Caspar said start from your best spot and monitor as you go. [/QUOTE]
