Now that's a nice test pit! Great job 🤠 The grey stuff you encountered is another layer (horizon) of the soil. Since it seems to contain the same kind of moraine as the layer above, the grey colour means the layer is either unoxidized, or has been depleted/washed out of reactive minerals like iron. Since it's below the oxidized rusty stuff it's probably unoxidized. It will be a lot easier to dig since the rust isn't cementing it together. Easy... besides the boulders 😅 It's fun to see how different the gold from the red oxide horizon is, as some rust will stick to the gold making it red as you noticed during cleanout. Any idea how deep the bedrock is in Rautakuru? Have you got any bedrock outcroppings, or is it all covered in moraine? I voted "go deeper" in your poll for Naruska 2023 ⛏😆
Yeah i really should learn more about understanding chemistry of moraines. I am sure it is fascinating stuff. Yeah the gold definedly had been tinted red unlike gold from Kaarreoja (atleast usually). We do have few places where bedrock is showing on the edges of the valley so it could be not too deep, but i fear that the general shape of the area indicates it could be very very deep. According to GTK maps there could even be +30 meters of top soil on the valley. But who knows... we just have to dig and see.
Jokainen kaivaja tekee omalla tavallaan varmaankin. Itse olen säilyttänyt kokoelmissa viimeaikoina suuremmat, sormin tuntuvat, hiput ja loput myynyt erinäisille romukulta kauppiaille puuterina. Silloin tällöin myös yksityiset keräilijät, kultasepät ja tapahtumat ovat ostaneet kultaa.
No ei ollu tyhjä paikka, siitä on hyvä jatkaa👍
Juu meidän tärkein tavoite oli todistaa (lähinnä itsellemme), että tuola on kultaa. Seuraavaksi aletaan etsiä parempia maita.

Kiinnostava video! Mitä teette löytyneelle kullalla? Teettekö siitä jotakin itse vai myyttekö tai miten näissä yleensä toimitaan? 🙂

Great video , when I'm watching ,I was working us well, now I need some break,Lapinkulta time 😂, good luck guy's,
@@SS-rd4gs thanks. Have another cold one for good luck.
Näyttää siltä, että joku etsi sieltä kultaa ennen sinua!
Kyllä, ei sielä muutoin kaivella monttuja.
Mua huvitti tuossa lopussa ku vanhakullankaivaja viisasteli, sulle kun sanoit et ei se tyhjä oo
