boulder dash Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Did some detecting and drywashing today. First thing I noticed was the excessive heat and humidity. My shirt was 100% wet enough to transfer down to my pants. It was terrible in the wash. Detected over 20 small nugget for 1.3 grams. Unfortunately the picture didn't work and nuggets were added to poke. Vacuumed about 50 ft of wash or 13 buckets of the good stuff. Finished the day by 2pm 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampstomper Al Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Great job as always, BD..! Bummer about the nuggie pix tho.. Couple quick edification Qs 4 U: You said "the good stuff.." Does that mean you shoveled / swept / blew overburden off the top first..? If this is a wash you've worked in the past, how long did that replenishment take..? Thanks from the peanut gallery, Swamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I shoveled all the overburden and vacuumed 13 buckets . I have never worked this stretch before. I'm about 100% sure the old timers did work it. Plenty of old evidence like hand stacked walls and oddly placed rocks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the big stuff was weighed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
