Getten the good stuff. Re the subject: "placering"......Do you have plans to sample and pan to see if there is enough fine gold or maybe deeper/not detected gold to justify highbanking or whatever?

Good luck.

i brought some dirt home this time. did 3 pans and not a fly poop speck. theres still 40 lbs of it in my backpack. if minerjosh found some gold in his dirt ill make more of an effort...work is stacked to the roof so i dont have much free time. managed to reload 150 rounds this week though.

for my next go around i have the factory dd coil strapped and ready to go. i know theres more, finding it is the issue.

You sure are doing great! Thanks for posting the pictures as well.

It looks like you're getting yourself into a regular pattern of finds, so you sure are doing something right.

Nicely done, and all the best,

Lanny

Panned the whole backpack without a speck...it kinda baffles my mind...you would expect some fines in that dirt around those nuggets you've been finding...I guess that ground just throws chunky gold

Another one of Mother Earth's puzzles.

I've experienced the complete lack of fine gold in dirt around nuggets before, but not often.

The ones we found where there was no accompanying fine gold were in what I'd best describe as a glacial dam blowout where a massive wall of water tore loose and blew huge boulders, etc. outwards and when those big obstacles started to lose velocity, the nuggets dropped with them in the low pressure zones created by their bulk. Only way I could figure it.

A great distance farther down from the blowout where the rocks got much, much smaller, that's when some fine gold started to show up.

Now, I've also seen it the other way, where I'd find nuggets in the bedrock and the crevices the nuggets were in were laced with fine gold and pickers, and the surrounding dirt on the bedrock had all kinds of small ironstone and fine gold as well, so you never know about gold. I'm going to have to agree with the mystery theory that surrounds how it's deposited sometimes . . .

All the best,

Lanny

That’s been my experience in every place I’ve detected nuggets in nor-cal except along river/larger creek bedrock.

Even in the bottom of narrow gullies, gold is usually big enough to pick up with your fingers, or not there.

Thats what’s funny...empty pans but relatively rich ground when a little bit more dirt is moved.
