[QUOTE="Hunting the yellow, post: 126484, member: 68"] heres a map that I've made up that explains how to loam [url=http://s1155.photobucket.com/user/simeon44/media/loaming_zpsd2f4972a.png.html][img]http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p560/simeon44/loaming_zpsd2f4972a.png[/img][/url] the last point where you don't find anymore gold loaming you dig a trench like this in green to strike the gold baring quartz reef I usually dig small 2ft long by 1ft deep trenchers 3 or 6 meters apart in a row strait up the middle of the ridge line you can do a grid type pattern up the hill but I tend to just keep loaming/digging my holes in a strait line up the hill until the gold runs out then I dig a long trench about 6 m long down to bedrock and detect the bottom of the bedrock or look for a quartz reef and take a sample out of the quartz and crush it in a dolly pot or wash it to see visible gold hope this helps a bit better cheers HTY :) please after finishing/digging your holes fill them in :) [/QUOTE]
