On our new gold claim there are many holes of various sizes and a bench. Can you look at the material in the bench and determine if it was created by nature or by the piling of tailings . I don't see any piles of cobbles and the dirt may have been carried to nearby creek or water pumped up and washed on site. It was probably mined in the 30s. Would the dirt in the bench be stratified differently? I would assume they had heavy equipment. The bench is at the inside point of 2 small gulches coming together.
