[QUOTE="Hunting the yellow, post: 169346, member: 68"] gold sheds down hill you would save a lot of busting your gut if you do what jethro said and loam from the bottom of where you can see the reef parallel to the hill I would do a 2ft long by 1 foot wide by half a foot deep or as deep as you like small costean/trench. parallel to the reef on the hill but about half way up the hill. I would also suggest if you can see the reef for a long distance in the ground I would go more of these types of loam trenchers that I've explained above. I would dig them say every 5 to 10 meters parallel to the reef and on the side of the hill until you can not see the outcropping reef anymore. because there is not much use digging holes that are vertical to the reef because you wont get the results your after if you dig up hill in a strait line. dig across the hillside or parallel to the hill. NOT up/vertical to the hill/reef cheers HTC :) [/QUOTE]
