After digging out my hole on the weekend
as usual I got down and dirty brushing, sweeping and scratching the goodies off the bedrock (lump in middle of hole) only difference this time was I could actually see the bits on the bedrock ( 6 of them)
lesson thoroughly reinforced - clean, clean and then when you think its clean have another go.
Also pretty impressed with my efforts/system to leave the place as I found it - dig, sluice, throw big rocks back into hole, tailings contained and shovelled back into hole.
Must be good karma as I managed to crack the g mark for the first time in a day
Moral of the story Cleanliness is next to goldliness. Go get kids
