I posted this in my San Diego Gold thread, but no hits in a couple days since I posted it, so I'll ask here.....
Ok so I have mentioned that the best gold has come from the top couple feet of gravel at my hole. It seems that about 3' down is a 1"-2" layer of claylike mud. It's too stiff to call mud and too thin and liquidy to call clay, yet I really have to work to break it up in classifier and mix it to stratify in pan. Below this layer is more gravel, so it seems to be working as a clay layer.... Anyone ever run into this before? I almost feel like this was a vegetation layer at one point?
