[QUOTE="4040, post: 518285, member: 16794"] I imagine that there is a point in the works where the ground still held gold but not at the rates of the main cut or not at rates that it was worth running via the hydraulic sluicing. Im guessing water had its cost in these locations and couldnt be simply used on any old gold bearing dirt. Im guessing they washed dirt with the higher yeilds down to a point where it became un-ecconomical... Is that a fairly true assumption? hopefully i can find some areas where it was just below their oporating costs and there is still some good fine gold for the hobbiest. [/QUOTE]
