Yes some times you need to move a lot of big rocks though if you look at a couple of pic,s above youl notice there isnt any bedrock exposed thats because only a certaian layer is being target,d it all depends on were the gold is other times there is only gold at the very bottum of the river bed the situation is always changing.

Great to see that it is still out there to be found. Anybody like you, kiwikeith and others, who invest that much effort and expenditure, deserves whatever comes their way. (with the proviso of course, that they are doing it where it is allowed to be done)
