[QUOTE="wiley coyote, post: 631989, member: 7587"] The pipeclay where I detect is a creamy/white colour, feels slippery to touch, like talcum powder. Is it correct that the old timers dug through the wash dirt to the pipe clay, then tunnelled along in it as It was easier to work, took It up to the surface, then dropped the wash dirt down into the tunnel, then took that up to the surface to process. I've heard differing versions of how they worked It, but this seems the most logical way to me. Any thoughts on this? wiley. [/QUOTE]
