[QUOTE="Land Rover, post: 12971, member: 530"] G,day All,,,,, In the olden days a prospector would work his way up stream test panning evry 100 yrd or so,,, when the colour run out he would then back track down stream until He found where was last seen colour,,Then He would take note of the most likely side the gold may have come from,, He would then leave the stream and start collecting soil samples up the hill at set distances and put them in a long sock ,each sample was knotted off from the previous one , The prospector would then take his sock full of sample dirt back to the steam and start the panning process systematically working his way up the sock from the first one out of the stream until he again run out of colour,,, this is where the prospector then established WHERE the gold come from, He then assertained whether it was surface gold or if He was now going to become a hard rock miner !!!!!
