[QUOTE="mudgee hunter, post: 390828, member: 9124"] These areas can be prime real estate. Look for rounded river rocks, this can be a good sign of old river beds. Some are shallow, some can be very deep. Hard rock mining usually have larger mounds of jaggard rock. If these are shallow diggings that are numerous on hill over a wide area on an inside bend. They can be great serious high banking spots if you can pump that high. As they had a choice of carting the dirt to the creek to process. Mening the material left behind is virgin of being sluiced. (Awsum) , or they had a water race up the hill to feed onsite. Bonus there is that races only really worked well with a good rainfall years. Drought times made it very hard for them. Slowing things down dramatically for high ancient river wash processing with no race. To steep for a barrow, bucket in each hand. Hmmm 50m of 6mm steel cable, highbanker at the creek... a bucket with a pulley wheel..... flying fox arrangement to bucket with return rope.... stuff carring it down! [/QUOTE]
