[QUOTE="gragagan, post: 626198, member: 14786"] Sometimes, but not always, the creek I usually go to is quite the opposite. Over time creeks cut their way down into the country rock, getting deeper and deeper, forming valleys. This creek is still making its way deeper, so digging deep puts you deeper than the creek has ever been. There's a few layers near the surface that are gold bearing, within half a metre or so, but below that there's no wash, just fine silty decomposed granite. Lots of people do dig deep, and leave their holes, which makes it easy to sample different layers without much digging. Every hole is the same, gold near the surface, nothing deep. There's even gold up the hillsides, if you can find wash. I'm a bit worried actually, hopefully there's gold left there. Only been out twice this year, before lockdowns lifted, at least half a dozen cars there each time, people camping etc. Usually lucky to see anyone else out there at all. [/QUOTE]
