[QUOTE="jethro, post: 630911, member: 1297"] So the gold total from 3 15lt buckets of dirt taken from the bedrock around the edges of that tunnel would not have bought enough rice to make a rice cracker let alone something to smoke and dream of returning home to china a rich man.

They also seemed to have washed all the dirt that was taken out of the shafts and tunnels as there are no piles of mullock around the edges of the shafts. [/QUOTE]
