[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 657122, member: 4728"] Yes, movement of something as heavy as gold (sg 19.3) by water (sg 1) is physically very difficult unless aided by gravity. Read that in the old days when water was very scarce in the Victorian goldfield during summer, the diggers used to pile their washdirt into a seasonal creek. After a storm they would find the heap washed down and the gold just sitting in place. Have also seen reliable reports during the 80s of bank wash downs in Stringers Creek, Walhalla revealing excellent gold deposits. [/QUOTE]
