It had been two weeks since I had hit my favorite Creek its normally a spot that you see no one and the gold has been cleaned out of a lot of it long ago. Dredge piles scatter the banks and Valley. I have cleaned and scraped exposed bed rock with poor results. There is always fresh float gold in the top inch or so but not enough to add up very fast. but sample sample sample I found an area that is deep in cobble rocks and heavy in black sand. So digging found gold all through the almost cemented material and when I find Gold I keep on digging !
The Holes are (There are 3 of them) about 4 foot deep and I am find good flake thru out that layer the bad news is I'm not hiting bed rock even yet ! Saturday I was suprised to find some one had been diverting flow and working bed rock Not sure if i should pull downthese dams are not it is against fish and games regulations ! I will work these holes all summer and just before the winter rains refill them fom my tailing piles ready stack along side to keep from causing errosion when the waters rise and run fast again !
