I was at a friends the other day and we decided to scratch around in his bedrock dry creekbed. While I was scratching I looked up and he had a 10 gallon shopvac in hand. Cleaned out our spot and after classifing and before we even used the pan up popped the 2 nuggies. We only went through about a quart of material. Of course we tried again today and only found a few flakes but it sure is convienient being only 20 steps or so from the deck fridge. (I need snuffer practice.)
