Hit two areas this past week her in the east. Here are the results. Now we moved quite a bit of dirt. Then we ran the concentrates through one of those spiral gold wheels. Weight is 2.1 grams and there are several decent NUGGETS in the batch. All are bright yellow, the dull color on a couple is from shadows. Nice, cold, no, make that very cold creeks up here.

All told about 10 hours of work. It's nice that it's local. Anybody can buy stuff from California, Alaska or Australia. I like the local part.

My father is law was an electrician. He knew all the skilled trademen within 50 miles. Some of his well drilling buddies stated some places they would put in a well they'd come up with gold. Now we know the legends are true.

Went through the rest of the concentrates, twice, and got an additional gram, so that's 3 grams plus, or over 1/10 an ounce. Trying again tomorrow, assuming the thunderstorms let up.

That is some amazing gold. It is hard to tell the size of the nuggets without a comparison but it really looks like more then 2.1 grams either way really impressive chunky gold.
