1 nuggy and some lil pickers 3" dredge

Been working a spot down to bedrock but most of the bedrocks been flat or slopping and shallow 2-3 feet over burden so mostly all i've been getting is flakes of fine gold. Welp we found a V in the bedrock about a 3 foot section and came up with this grams worth of heavier pieces the V even had a shelf the most perfect spot for bigger gold to lie and to add to it right on top of hard clay PERFECT look for those spots there not always easy to find this one took 2 months almost every weekend to find

What river,or creek?

South of you HEH HEH :thumbsup:


It's definetly taking persistence any time anyone tel;ls you " That rivers been slammed" find out for yourself I have been told this numerous times about this creek.

A friend of mine just spent a day packing in his stuff into the San Joaquin river gorge, they opened the dam 10 miles upstream and released water down the gorge and he almost lost his dredge he lost most of his dredging equipment that he had up on a beach stored down stream so it can also get dangerous, OH he also lost a bucket full of gold filled concentrates, at best he got away with his life and his brand new dredge.

I lost a 7.7 gram rose quartz gold nugget on upper big creek about 18 years ago. If you find it, let me know. I'd like to see a picture of it.(it has a loop for a chain on it)
