Swampstomper Al Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I'm thinkin' this would be a good opportunity to find out just how rich in small Au the area you guys cleaned out a couple weeks ago for 17+ gm happens to be..It doesn't strike me as often one gets a chance to run a fact-finding mission of this sort..What do you think, BD or adam..?SA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 It looks like it is ready to do again ... I wonder if the heavy gold came down with the sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulder dash Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 That was a 100 year storm and Im sure lots of replenishment occurred. To wet and deep to re run those stretches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) I'm thinkin' this would be a good opportunity to find out just how rich in small Au the area you guys cleaned out a couple weeks ago for 17+ gm happens to be..It doesn't strike me as often one gets a chance to run a fact-finding mission of this sort..What do you think, BD or adam..?SAWe already know there will be replenishment, as the overburden carries nice values.... BD spotted many sunbaker pieces on bedrock in areas we knew were clean. As for the same values on bedrock?, That`s a good question. Could be....... As BD stated however, it will need to dry out for some time in order to find out. Edited July 6, 2015 by adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampstomper Al Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Ok BD & adam -- thanks for your replies..And BD, I didn't mean head out there this afternoon, but if/when y'all do re-vac that same sectionI for one would be interested in hearing what the comparative value take is.. That was a LOT of movement..!Tnx,SA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Well, thanks for the comments everyone. I have always enjoyed putting together before & after shots for everyone the last couple years. What it really shows , is that you may never know if someone has worked a spot. Even old handstacks that have been up forever , can be taken out in an instant. What appears to be a virgin gully , may in fact have been worked heavily and you just wouldnt know.. Even the nice clue we found a while back ( drag stone ) is now buried for who knows how long.....
