Interesting, looks like you are mining a bench deposit from an old river bed. Am I wrong?

Mornin John.
I thought I posted this is the dredge/highbanking forum If it needs moved
Capn I am just 800 yards above a very large Hyd. wash with many waterfalls between, This is a gulch/creek . It has produced mostly load pieces but also some ancient riverbed pieces. The river was just to the south say 1000 yards. I am actualy workin bank to bank and making pools for pumping as I go up . I believe I just worked past a gold producing vein and I will come back and check it later. 2 days ago I had a slim cleanup so wendsday I will step forward and make a new pond. The bedrock has a slot about 2 feet wide down the center of the gulch so I am thinking it will pay well The pic of my geologist friend standing on the vein
