How to reclaim holes???

[Huelten]

That may seem like a stupid question to some but heres my situation. Im a member of a prospecting club and one of the club rules is to reclaim the holes we dig while out prospecting. Im also looking into getting my own claim and its my understanding BLM requires us to reclaim the holes even on our own claims. So heres the question, if i'm running buckets and buckets through either my BGT or my highbanker, yet only getting minimal rocks and leftovers, how is a guy to refill his hole up? Like i said its a silly question that will probably produce a simple answer i'm just unsure. Maybe filling it in with surrounding dirt? But then thats just creating more small holes to fill an big one. Also what if its a hole i wish to further dig in the future? Are we to simply start from scratch every time? Seems like that is ineffective as it would waste hours of time and energy simply moving the overburden we may thrown into the hole just a couple of weeks ago

Recreational - my backside! Pictures explain better

Down river side of flood stage boulder, found gold kept digging.

Decided the trench was a touch ugly so I filled it all back in with river rock. Please note the cool trap I built!

Almost a cumfy pile to perch on

Then I hiked out. Recreational my tired foot...........................63bkpkr

Thought I would share this image with everyone, this is just a small area in Eastern Oregon. Any idea what this might be?

Could be a very old cinder cone from volcanic activity in the past. That could be reinforced if you can find info on that area.
Otherwise it looks like it's just a short hill ridge line.
Best bet is to get on that ground and cop a feel for it. Pick up some rocks, observe the topography first hand, and take some personal photos and then some ideas might come up. Doesn't look like anything too special to worry about to me though...

It's close to one square mile of hand dug holes. This is just a small portion of them.
