[QUOTE="Hare_Twigga, post: 52452, member: 1994"] I know a bit about it. You can dig a hole 5ft x 2.5ft x 5ft deep in 2-3hrs approx. cleaning out the gravel another hour or so and filling it back in takes about 40 mins approx. Each ft deeper than this add at least another hour. I've found enough gold by doing this to pay for my time and effort a couple of times. The old timers saying of "Three in one hundred" has been true for me. Most holes I dig I get nothing,a speck or two. [/QUOTE]
