Bill's been doing alot of work on the claim...yesterday he came home with a nice little nugget. After shoveling only 3 bucketfuls of material, classifying them down to 8- then running it through the sluice he came up with this:(see pic below)
Keep in mind that was only about 2 hours worth of work...no machinery, just hand work on this. I will also post the cute nugg he found...It's a little bigger then the nugget he gave me...his first nugget!! I MUST be special...I got his first nugget he found from when he was drywashing in Arizona!!!  take it easy all...may the gold bug bite you hard in the butt!! :P  Kriss

Bill did some more work on the claim today...mostly cleaning up the previous claim holders' mess and playing in the dirt.
B) He's been posting quite a few pix on leonards forum the last few days on the following link:Lots of Bills pix There are some pix there from what he pulled out today playin around...he only ran about 3 buckets again today. Hope all is well in everyones' neck of the woods!!  Kriss
