So I've been digging at this river for a few days and I've noticed some interesting soil deposits. I'm wondering if they are even worth my time. In one area there is an eroding man made rock slide area that backs to a willow covered plain. I went digging into it today and found a decomposing vegitation/mud/black sand layer underneath there I found a rusty sandy lome layer. It seems to be untouched by others judging by the red stained rocks I went through.
There is another section I played in across the river where there is a dark black sand area that has black stained rocks with silver streaks running through the stones. Above the dark sand area is a normal river sand layer. Do either of these sound like it's better to dig through? Or if I need to provide more information? |

Well, in all fairness I think that internet forums overall peaked about 5 or 6yrs ago and are now pretty level. My flyfishing forums are now ghost towns compared to this and they were once extremely busy. Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sources have gained more popularity (I don't do either).
This forum is relevant primarily to "Colorado" at first glance but certainly encompasses and offers information that is useful to any miner/prospector regardless of region. With that in mind, I consider it somewhat of a "regional" forum as opposed to something like GPAA (a profit company that preys on recreational users). Most of our members are from Colorado but we have paying club members from other states also who support CP and use the benefits. So I don't expect it will ever attract huge attention like a corporate sponsored site but frankly it's kinda nice having a great small to medium group. We all get along and can discuss topics without the anonymity that gives strangers on other forums the reigns to hurl endless insults at each other when disagreeing. I see it all the time. Don't think of it as "slow"... more of a family community rather than an anonymous world community. That's how I see it anyway. ![]() -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |
