Used my dredge on the South Yuba river

[Aufisher]

Went to the hands and pans only area to try out my new dredge. Cut my hands to shreds on broken glass afraid to use tools like gloves. Panning amoung 50 nudists I struck gold. Pulled out my new micro hand dredge aka snuffer bottle when nobody was looking and sucked that gold right out of my pan!

Ewww no Kevin! What has been seen, cannot be unseen! Plus they're rude.
There's got to be a crack repellent. I wanna find my nuggets, not theirs!
There is a rule in this state park about cavorting around naked. Funny how that rule isn't enforced but
the no digging one is from what i've heard.

Yes..'tis true..

Also could use enlightenment on what DOD land is.

Dept Of Da-fence there Guilded. Could be anything from a military radar site to a secret research/test facility so secret that they hide it in plain sight while they photograph the local "Wildlife".

As to the claim there, as long as it's not closed to mineral entry (maybe for security reasons with the DOD?) it's still federal land and thus claimable. If the govt wanted people to stay out they'd fence it off most likely.
