Generally, on the inside bends. Also, Check for "shelves" above the normal flow. ╦╦Ç
Thats awesome. It did you ride it on a Honda Elsinore?! Haha just kidding I think the first model was 1974.Just as an aside...I rode in the 1971 Elsinore Grand Prix.

Nope...I was riding a Yamaha 250MX. I was in the Air Force at the time. Stationed at Norton outside San Berdoo. I rode a Norton 370 AJX for desert racing. The 400 Elsinore could outrun me on the flats, but the AJX more than made up the ground in the rough terrain. Hard to believe how long ago that was....LOL

I would start at C-10, next T-10, also I-12 and H-9, one indicator you may want to check is around the plants, during floods they act as riffles and gold will fall around them and also seeds for new plants will drop down on slow points during a flood plus gold. Good LuckTaking a great idea from ET1955 which I really found cool. Where would you start your search on this bit of land? I'm limited to hand tools and sluice at this location.
I was thinking of looking for a line at 9b-8a-7Z-7Y area. And on the next bend at 13J-14I-14H.

When I was much younger, I rode the deserts and mountains of southern Cal on a Mako 500. Good bike! ╦╦Ç
I think the name was Mako back in the 80s. At least that is what my old brain is telling me. I saw the Maico name on the web yesterday. Tnx. ╦╦ÇGood bikes, those Maicos, Terry.

That's the way I remember it also Jim? Old and tired but I also remember the "old days" of dirt (Maico, Bultaco, Greeves, CZ's, etc. etc.)..... Saw Roger Decoster race, Hodaka Ace 90 was my 1st bike at age 11 and been riding ever since but less now. Currently have one very slow Honda CRF230 for dirt and 3 Harleys....'39, '54, '83.I always remember it as spelled Maico, but my memory ain't what it used to be, either..Ha!
