[QUOTE="Spyhunter, post: 521312, member: 8415"] My general rule is to check the hole/working and remove the rubbish left behind you'd be surprised what they missed underneath the rubbish. Plus i feel that if I remove the rubbish i'm helping clean up the area for future prospecting. I know a spot that has been flogged and on my last trip met a guy that was working this area. I went and waved the wand over the ground he was working only to find he hadn't filled in any holes and was leaving the rubbish still in the hole. This not only frustrating for other prospectors but its not reasonable when on a cattle property to leave exposed holes that the cattle can stumble in and possible loss for the land owner. Yes he found nice gold but what he missed by not removing the rubbish and not filling in his holes left him with less than he could've had. Cheers Macca [/QUOTE]
