[QUOTE="TimAu, post: 193995, member: 3243"] Work parallel to the reef to increase your chances of intersecting a run of gold. As the gold has shed down the slope it generally spreads out in a fan like pattern from the source. Once you get your first find look above and below, if your lucky and can get 3 finds join the dots and you get a pretty good idea which direction the gold run is heading and which direction it might have come from but remember towards the bottom of the slope it could be spread along the line of reef by tens of metres and will obviously narrow the closer you get to the source. There could also be multiple sources and this is where plotting your finds on a GPS becomes very helpful. [/QUOTE]
