Bedrock technique....
Had a chance to get out yesterday and work some bedrock up here (for Gold). This is one of the spots that MikeS, Dave, and I worked the other day. Lots of fun on a nice day and I didn't even have to get wet for a change. Just scraping and panning. Used a snuffer bottle to clean out the bottoms of small cracks. No nugs or pickers but was showing a little color in every pan so the concentrate I took home should clean up fairly nice in the Blue Bowl. Very fun day with the pup and a good fix until my claims are accessible.

Thanks for going on the trip Sunday Swizz! That was fun!
It was different panning then I am used to, at Clear Creek. I did not have any leaf fossils in my collection until then either, thanks again!

Here's my big haul from the bedrock.
 Actually not terrible considering I only moved about a gallon of dirt.  WC Gold Sample by ghostcreekmine, on Flickr
