[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 656837, member: 3960"] No doubt you're right but we are in an unusual area. The terrain here is mostly quite flat and the gold is/was spread far and wide. There must have been plenty of gold in the mountains that have long since eroded away and we're left with the alluvial gold. Some areas were scattered with large visible nuggets while others had smaller nuggets but still scattered across the surface or buried close to the surface. One of my leases that I've been dryblowing had a lot two and three ounce nuggets but because there is only 200mm to 300mm of topsoil all those have gone. Below this soil there is a layer of rock that is about 300mm to 400mm thick and then there's more soil underneath in most places. [ATTACH type="full"]5897[/ATTACH] Apart from where there's a quartz reef I think the majority of the gold was deposited above this cap-rock. [/QUOTE]
