Would you consider this good for the effort?

Dug for about an hour or so, classified material down into about 1.5 buckets. This was in and under overburden on an old gravel bar deposit. Everything you see is pretty much all gold, aside from the gray speck right above Abes head to the left.

Thoughts?

That's not too bad. The bigger piece probably means there is more there, and larger.

Should be much better once you hit bedrock and clean out the crevices.

I'm pretty new to prospecting, so this is pretty exciting for me. Looking forward to what else may be hiding there.

You said you classified.....just a heads up: you could have left some gold behind in clods or dirt attached to rocks if you did it dry. Wet classify, sluice, or production pan unclassified material to generate concentrates to max out your recovery.

Good luck.
