[QUOTE="boobook, post: 456829, member: 1605"] A handy tool for picking up the wash layer at places like Black Springs is a 120cm. length of 9mm steel rod, one end flattened like a screwdriver the other a tee handle welded on. Using it like an auger, screw it down through the loamy top soil the sudden scratching sound/feeling will let you know you have hit the wash level. Years ago we used this method very successfully in that region. Some of the richest wash was only 3-4cm. thick and on occasion multiple levels. mike [/QUOTE]
