[QUOTE="Conan, post: 449758, member: 3987"] Wash layers can vary on depths, consistency, colour and ease on getting it out. In the Vulcan State forest at Black Springs the depth of the wash layer can be near the surface down to 2metres but you know it when you find it. Its friggin hard as concrete. :mad: Here is a typical wash band(excuse the crap photo) that you can find there. The layer can be anywhere from a couple of cm's to 30cm thick. Dry digging in an ancient lead is hard but can be rewarding. Wal N Liz video is a great example of stream digging at its best. It helps when you can get access onto private property into virgin areas. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/3987/1541389841_wash3.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
