had an hour to kill so I went to clear creek just west of tunnel one and through down a few test pans. got some small garnets. coulpe cool lokking stones and saw what looked like micro fine gold in my pan. not really sure but it moved last. anyway I was wondering, I hit mainly light sandy material and some small light gravel and I went about seven to eight inches deep behind a small boulder. or large rock I guess lol. how far down before descent black sand? can anyone say a rough guess.

I never have been charged - but if you want them to appraise it, they might. Try the Shane Co. on 36 and 104th. A good rock shop can do the same, if they have other than sales people there.
