Alwaysdirty Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I managed to catch a break in the weather and make it out recently. No luck in several new washes so I hit a past producer for myself on the way out, I placered a few feet to what I thought was bedrock sticking up through the overburden, turns out it was a boulder with gravels wedged under it. It was too heavy to roll out of the way so with my pick I could only shimmy it over about a foot and prop it up, that was all it took to expose some hiding spots for gold. .8 of a gram between the two. 14 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowPoint Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Dang, that boulder-bend looks somewhat like one of mine,....I can tell right off, you need some help moving some of those boulders to get down to the goodies. Wonder just how deep bedrock is under those boulders???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder just how deep bedrock is under those boulders???? Not very deep and all the rest shown in the pic is bedrock, this boulder was jammed up against that bedrock looking downstream.
