[QUOTE="Lesgold, post: 352755, member: 9840"] Thanks for the info Bob, I will follow up and have a good read. My wife scored her first small piece yesterday. (She did the detecting and I did the raking). That piece came from yellow gravel around a very deep shaft. In contrast, a piece I picked up today was buried in grey gravel around shallow diggings. I think you made a good point about the mullock heap that you are currently working. In that situation, you could expect to find gold anywhere throughout the mound. I suppose the important information that any person should research before detecting an area is to find out what depth/ depths the gold was taken from initially and the makeup of the material holding the gold. Cheers and thanks again Les [/QUOTE]
