Nice finds. Were they part of the sluice cleanup? What type of sluice were you using?

 

[beekbuster]

i got 1 fly poop speck in the sluice clean up(not pictured). i only took the bottom layer, what should be the best layer three or four inches of hard silt on the bedrock. i shoveled the rest off to the side. after i had enough space cleaned to snipe i did that, and found the big one and the next biggest right off the bat. then the others came later.

i listened to your advice john, and it has payed off 3 grams so far in 2 trips, not making a lot of wages, but damn is it fun to uncover chunkers like that!
