I love this thread. When I think of buying property, it's to retire on!! Keep it up, I'm lovin it!
Lets say you locate a fair site. There are thousands of them around East Tx as well as all over the state. You go out with a shovel and hand sifter and sift a 3ft by 3ft area 3ft deep. Thats a cubic yard. You go around the site and do these sample digs to determine the paremeters if you cant obviously see them from the terrain.
Just for kicks lets say its a fair site and you find an average of 2 good points per cubic yard. Now we determine how deep it goes and this will vary widely so say it averages 3ft to make it easy. The site is small and is 100yds by 100 yards.
Thats 10,000 cubic yards and 20,000 decent points that you could REASONABLY expect to find. That is how i justify buying a site to dig. Hope this helps.
