I have the private slot in my neighborhood, this was a slot cut through solid bed rock that has filled in and will I am sure blown out again with the next flood this fall.
Not sure where the best place is to start????

You're going to need a pan at some point. Sampling sampling and did I say sampling? Oh and very final clean up too. Get a high banker once you find some gold paying area

Jesse, how about you and I get together with Serene and
see if we can show him where the gold is in that area?

My trucks still down, but I can certainly shoot over that way
in the Queen's Hyundai.

Jesse, I love mossing, but hate cleaning the stuff!

If you have any option to aquire/buy land boardering that creek id think real hard about it!!!!!!!!! If it were up to me , id buy and im sure my bad back/knees/ankles would feel MUCH better while dredgeing that creek.as it is for me. I have to drive MANY miles to do dredgeing and it looks like all my equipment will be up on the auction block real soon!
