[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 149769, member: 147"] Visual observation is far more reliable than mineralized "surface" sand layers, as these deposit further up the flood zone than the serious heavies you should be targeting. Can have a slight advantage in sourcing flour gold, which associates itself with the mineralized sands, but looking for visible ironstone pockets behind larger river rocks will net you far better results..... and will define the gold line more clearly. ;) [/QUOTE]
