I have had several 1 oz days.
We were dredging up on the Similkameen river in North Central Washington. Dredged for a week without a spec then on the last day we cleaned off a spot that no one had done before and picked up just over an oz in about a hour, most of it with our fingers off the bottom.
:occasion14: Mr. Bonaro I remember dredging up there with Leonard Leeper back at the 2007 N / West Miners Rally and I had a ball !] Meet lots of friends that I had talked with over the net even Trev Alty from New Zealand ! And some strange guy with (had) long hair at one time but didn't then and I hardly recognized him!:headbang:

Yes many times but when dredging it was a whole different world-when regs were much more lax. Afew times detecting and a few times drywashing/highbanking also-John
