I went up to lytle creek with a friend yesterday and we sluiced the creek for 1.5 hours this was my reward lol it looks promising for a beginner. I was working a area 5ft off the main creek and dug down 1.5ft just below a good rock pile. My friend came away with 16 flakes about the same size as mine. The Gold bug has bit me good lol good luck to you all.
