[QUOTE="Luke, post: 241253, member: 7050"] Hi, I'm trying to figure out a technique which old timers used on goldfields.Exactly at diggings.Those holes they dug apart. Obviously closer and more holes, richer the ground was, I assume.Until they found out it was rich enough to do surfacing.Did they found gold at the bottom of each hole, or they were just test holes?? If they did found gold there, does it mean there is a high possibility that between those holes could be gold still sitting untouched? What I also noticed and I'm curious about how old-timers found a line at which gold laid? Perhaps old river bed.It's very interesting to see diggings only on a one side of a gully and of the line actual today's bottom.That explains how rivers and creeks change their course over thousands of years.
