Hey Grizz, I'd think you'll find this interesting. I asked a pro about clay layers just to learn more about them. He didn't really read my question right because I am a very bad writer, but he gave some good info. My original question was:
Hi Jess, can you take some time to explain clay layers. I was just curious about why and how they form. I've also noticed that the clay sometimes has small gravel in it and sometimes it is smooth like modeling clay. I've also noticed different colors of clay like bluish gray, brownish gray and battleship gray. I've tried many times to go through the clay layer to see what is beneath it but, but it has always been over 18'' inches deep. What is usually below the clay layer? And lastly, I know from experience that gold will sit just on top of the clay, but will it ever be mixed in the clay? Especially the clay that has small gravel in it. Thanks, -Bryan
