[QUOTE="Redmanti, post: 17968, member: 368"] I am thinking that our prospecting techniques are quite different from the old timers due to the circumstances of us spending a much more limited time at a location. Either day trips or a few days if we are lucky. Most of the time, we are going for crevices, digging into shallow holes and such. Putting quite a bit of what they would have called overburden through our high bankers. Old timers were digging much deeper to the wash layers on ancient river beds and were getting better results. Almost all the old newspapers seem to say that they were digging deeper for gold panning. [/QUOTE]
