We have the car packed up and making a trip to the claim again tomorrow. I really don't know how much time we will get there before it snows.
We have about 8 more buckets we can fill for a boring winter day later on....never know where the next corn flake may be hiding! I'd like to run some material too so I'll post if there's anything good. I've been working in that area all week and I can feel the claim calling me. It's been torture I tell ya! I have an idea for the biggest hole yet. The area we plugged up for the dredge earlier this summer has been over flowing for months onto the area I first opened up and it's soggy and saturated now. I might try to divert the creek on around further to dry it up and take advantage of that to open a huge hole right across the main channel. Seems like a decent plan and I was getting good gold there before anyway. Whoohoo! -------------------- Level 2 member -12/25/16

I didn't make a dent in it but that's a good thing. Plenty more material to run.
It will be a work in progress and I'm hoping to make it back tomorrow. This was from the top two feet of the creek bed, about 25 gallons through the little Angus. I really need a bigger faster sluice box, it's way too slow. This material wasn't the richest but I needed to dig it out so I ran it. -------------------- Level 2 member -12/25/16
