LowPoint Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Was out a couple hours yesterday and managed to snag these "sitting-Ducks" while exploring a new wash. What surprised me was that they where all lying in bedrock cracks (no more than an inch (or less) down that was on openly-exposed bedrock that had been scoured from past heavy rains and flooding in an area that (I am sure) has seen heavy and frequent detecting-traffic by others. There was no trash, nor lead anywhere on the area, so others had been there and removed it, yet they had not been thorough enough to get the gold. Anyone with a VLF detector would have picked up a signal with these. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alwaysdirty Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Excellent finds! I like it down that way, seems that people leave behind gold there. I think they are just generous and leave some to share... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisski Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Nice to see the Black Canyon Gold. I had fun going there, but never found anything to speak of, only specks that were carried a long distance by the river. The GPAA has given up the easy to get to claims along the river. Supposedly "in the day," twice as much gold came out of the Black Canyon Area than did the LSD. The black canyon area is much harder access than the LSD also.
