Full Version: Clear creek digging
Colorado Prospector - Gem and mineral prospecting and mining forums > Prospecting, Mineral Collecting and Treasure Hunting Forums > Prospectors and Rockhounding Field Work
Ok so I try to get out to clear creek every weekend and without a sluice yet I have to bring my classifieds home to go through. I have found a few flakes of gold. I have dug up to two feet down so far and maybe two feet across. Is there a limit to the amount of shovel digging I can do? Also does anyone know how far bedrock is?

Bedrock in that area is further down than you can dig, at least safely and without supports.
