Some good--most bad. The first thing to move is the surface soils--which are usually devoid of gold anyhow. Massive amounts of dirt takes MANY YEARS to classify down to a decent paystreak. I've always loved these urban legends that herald massive amounts of gold from landslides. only problem is--gee wiz--ifn' the gold wasn't there in the first place there ain't no gold fairy that sprinkles it where it wasn't in the first place. Down the road it might help but immediate results are extremely elusive- tons a u 2 u 2 -John
