urbangold95 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I was wandering what you guys think would be best to dig near shallower water by a gravel bar or deeper water or if it even matters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbangold95 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 David,Thanks for the video. I was wandering how you would dig the material up from the boulder? Won't your gold go down stream as you begin to lift up your shovel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennM Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Depends on the flow of the water and the size, shape and orientation of the gold. Some small gold will go, but the majority should stay as just the agitation of the shoel will cause the gold to try and get to the bottom of your shovel.If that's a concern, get yourself one of those hand suction devices so as not to loose the small gold.
