Today I went to my regular panning spot and started off sluicing a new section but wasn't doing too well so about half way through the day I decided to head to some old locations to see what crumbs I could scrounge to panning. Found a spot where the bedrock stepped down under the bank so I did a little panning... It held some bigger crumbs than I expected lol. Here's some pics. I ended up with 4 grams. 9 nuggets. Biggest was 0.6 gram smallest 0.1.

Nice day! Wish I could get 4 grams, but that's never going to happen in the midwest hehe.

Apparently I didn't finish the pocket last time... Here's a pic of what was recovered today. 1.5 grams

Also saw a decent little flake sunbaking. I spotted it while walking up the creek.

I was thinking of checking out Edwards Crossing. Any thoughts on a good way to work it?

Yes, it's on the South Fork of the Yuba just above Nevada City.I've been wanting to prospect there as well. I've hiked the trail there before. It's a beautiful spot! I've heard there's blue clay up river, but also heard upriver is a popular spot for intoxicated nudists.
