[QUOTE="mudgee hunter, post: 423254, member: 9124"] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/9124/1531036856_a.jpg[/img] at a wild guess, the shaded area is the old river path before erosion etc. Rivers and creeks generally carve outwards and down with time. Volcanic activity can raise and change the original rivers path. But the ancient gold will be way back and up from the bend. The later gold has been most likely deposited on the downside of an inside bend. Decent bed rock on the outside of a bend will basically stop this erosion from happening, hence you will often see sheer rock formations on the opposite side of sharp bends. [/QUOTE]
