[QUOTE="aussiefarmer, post: 205316, member: 5729"] maybe it is just a flood plain and not a river bed , I have seen rocks the size of cars moved by flood waters. lots of flood events could have built the sand up over many years then a major flood could have dumped or rolled the larger ones on the upper layers maybe. if you could find the edge of it and narrow trench your way down into it following the natural hills slope it would show you a good cross section of the layers and then test panning each definite layer might show which layers are holding the most gold. The good news is you are getting gold :) now you just need to pin point what to dig . good luck and keep us posted :) [/QUOTE]
