[QUOTE="Trix, post: 63521, member: 2616"] Hi mfdes, Thanks for the tips, I'm not sure of the specific gravity of these stones. As Wally mentioned, they are a Quartz and not true diamond. So I'm not sure if the panning method would work for these, but I do think a sieve would be worth taking with me next time. In terms of erosion, or in the case of a rail cutting, destruction. I have found that both creeks and cuttings can often give the best rapid insight into the cross section of the land. High concentration rock bands can be mtrs below the overlying "topsoil". It sure beats digging ya way down. thanks again.. [/QUOTE]
