Long story short, about 40 years ago a mate and I went to Inglewood ( the potato diggings) and we noted that the ground between two not so deep shafts hadn’t been touched except for a deposit of gravel which had been tossed from the other shafts. So we dug down about 8’ x 4’ and found , yep, absolutely nothing. However, Scotty, with your experience, if it looks good you should process it. Cheers Mackka
That's still pretty shallow, what ground types/changes do you remember mate?
 
Sorry mate, it was 40 years ago and now I am lucky to remember what I did last week. However, it was in the area of the Potato Diggings and that area got its name from putting your shovel down a foot or less and bouncing the dirt and gravel to reveal the nuggets.
