First picker!!

[Huelten]

Got my first picker today while trying out a new claim. Though i am beyond happy i must pose a question. I ran about 8 buckets through my BGT and pulled this picker and 2 other substantial pieces out, no where near this one, but nice in their own respects. Does this picker necessarily mean theres more there to be found? I didnt find much in the way of flour gold, almost none. ive heard of beginners luck when it comes to bigger gold so i just want to hear the thoughts of those who have been at this longer. My gut is telling me to completely excavate this spot!

Seems like pickers are attracted to those Bazookas! Way to go!

Been at this off and on for years and I would sure as heck get back in that hole!!

Dig it up! Dig it deep! It looks quite coarse so you may be close to the source. Flour gold indicates it has traveled quite some distance by several means.

Pretty excited, im gonna get back in that same hole on saturday with a buddy. That bazooka just blows through the dirt! only takes me about a minute or two to run an entire bucket of dirt, a two man operation and i can see a 50-80 bucket type day!

Get down on and in the bedrock!

Oh Yeh!! Oregon gold!!
Can you give us a kinda area?
Congrats and I hope you find more.

Nice little chunk...

Gotta agree with the brethren here, as I'd be out there digging
that spot deeper and wider. Just one picker like that makes up for
a load of fine stuff!

Polished up your pic a bit:

I have a feeling if you keep working the area...you'll find your first nugget too. Congrats! Now you can start mining!

 

[Huelten]

I'm going to go back tomorrow and try and get 80 buckets through the BGT from that same hole. I'll post what I find!

Well guys.. I suck haha. I've realized im not too good at finding gold that doesn't reside in a stream bed. I tried many different spots, ran 38 buckets. got this..
