My 17000 and 6" DD finished a patch I have been working on for a while, I am done here now and this is the last one I could find outside of some sluicebox cons. Have a new place to go, I visited the area, met the owner of the claims and I thought for a while that he would not allow me to detect but in the course of the conversation I found out he was having a prob. with one of his Dozers that I was able to help with, (I used to fix them) so now I am able to hunt on the claims whenever I can get over there, with a place to stay... the other patch produced over 90 grams in several visits that spanned two years, I was very lucky there, but it was careful hunting and recognizing areas of mineralized gravels or sediments as the miners call them that contained the gold that were passed over. The bedrock was also a very hard slate that the oldtimers didn't get into while drifting and the modern miners equipment was so worn out that he didn't get all of it ripped up either..If the bedrock is a mica schist or other material that is easily taken up, then more then likely all of the gold bearing matrix has gone thru the sluice...
