bsumbdy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Hi everyone,Starting to figure a few things out. Did a lot of raking today, getting rid of some over burden. Got 2.5 grams today with the biggest being 1.8g. Thanks Jessie and Sean for the help. No free range nuggets yet, but at least I paid for gas today. Thanks for all the advice. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsumbdy Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 SL, I found a wash that I knew had gold, specifically nuggets. The gold is on the bedrock, and I had to rake off the over burden, to be able to detect the nuggets.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
