Bazooka Gold Trap style ?

Hey GrizzlyGremlin.

You brought up a good point that I don't remember seeing on this board before.

Fact is, the East Coast crust is older, colder, and harder. That's why a 5.0 earthquake in the east can radiate 10X further than an equal magnitude quake in the west.

I've lived on both sides; and dug holes here and there ... [sorry, didn't mean to sound cat-in-the-hat here].

I knew the places I put a shovel to were in harder ground in the East. But I never saw the bigger picture until you brought it up.

It is more work per shovelful in the East. And at the end of the day, it adds up to fewer buckets.

You know what you guys gotta do ... get smaller buckets.

NOT!

... come West, young sluicers.

This young sluicer will be west in 2 days!!! And he is too stoked!! I find it even more interesting comparing the top gravels to the bottom ones. Many times where i dig the top gravel and cobbles are fairly loose, then you hit the layer 2ft down where each fist sized boulder seems almost cemented. Then down further just above bedrock you run into green stones which are like prying concrete potatoes out of asphalt. The nice part about the east is that the more difficult the digging the better the gold! All i know is that there is a gram of gold with my name on it sitting on a clay layer at cache creek!

I think it's safe to say the harder the digging, the better the gold most everywhere! (Certainly true in CO from what I've seen)
