Got 17 Grams today, Bedrock is averaging 4"-24" deep and its a rotted slate type, trees had been in there and fractured and opened it up for the gold to sift into being slowed by the trees and shrubs..
Took a nice bow saw out there today and punched in another 3' x 12' into the ancient side. Starting to get small to medium nugs out of the overburden.. Still nothing big on the bedrock or in the cracks..
Getting 3/8 - 1/2 oz. a day now out of the overburden sniping off the top of the hardpack, it concentrates behind the boulders that are stuck in the hardpack that has overburden on top of it averaging 10"-3' .. Seeing rockheads of bedrock here and there with the seams all running at rt. angles to the waterflow. Im trying to savor this spot but I find myself higrading it and leaving alot behind
