Goldwasher,
Are you allowed to dredge the drainage ditch or high bank the driveway? That is a lot of water.

gldguy1 - thank you for the river & stream pictures. Do you happen to know what the high mountain snow load is?.................63bkpkr

If you look across the street in the view you are looking a t blackberry bramble over handstacks if I panned to the left you would see more and the escarpment created by where the old timers dug into the hillside. To my right is a small prospect. to the right of the driveway was a millsite. The original creek was where the road is. The bedrock in the ditch is sharp and newly exposed less than 40 years.

Believe it or not I've never dipped a pan or grabbed material to run up at my recirc. Crazy right, lol!!

Our hoa has rules against prospecting and metal detecting for gold on your lot. Renters have caused problems for owners. many of the lots have prospects and old digs on them. I don't really care what the HOA says though I am right at the entrance to the neighborhood so I would be highly visible.

I will be running material this year I have to do some repairs around my culvert. They didn't put a big enough one in so it has been eroding the down stream side as the water reenters the ditch.

At least you have an excuse. I live on a small spot of 15 acres of private land that has a year round flowing creek. The entire property is on old river rock and not once in 5 years have I put a pan in what I call the "cattle creek". BUT...during a recent week long dry spell, my good buddy/neighbor John DID sample it. It was still flowing too hard to get to any bedrock but he got a couple flakes out of a couple gallons. My gold snobbery got in the way but no more. Soon as the water is safe and low enough, we're gonna get the adult size tools AND sluices and get after it. Can't wait!

I have a ditch similar to yours and I cleaned it up just for fun and actually found some color

Herb. The snow pack in the area was measured last week and it was 138% of normal water content. Folsom Lake rose from 408' elevation to almost 440' last month and then they bonked it down to 404' with abnormally high releases. The elevation has been kept low and the releases this morning into the American River below Natomas Lake were large with every hate open and the whole basin turbulent. The rain has been Tshirt warm the last few days and there is lots of water from the snow melt.
