oldies1955 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hey all: Welp, got out today with Arctic Dave and went back in the LSD area to a spot he has had his eye on. Hes got a good eye! First wash was devoid of gold, second wash I found the flat one about 4 inches deep on cemented gravel bedrock. Well, as usual, slow down detect all around...nutten. Start back up the wash and about 50 yards up I get another one on the side of the wash. That's it..got to get Dave over here. Get back to the truck and hes down in a wash playing in the dirt mumbling something about testing dirt? Well, we get back over to the spot I found the last one and let him scoot on up the wash. Ill be danged if that was it. Bummer. Well, it opened up a whole large area for him to go back to for sure.Called it quits around 1 as the wind had stopped and our water was getting light.Great day out with a friend and the good Lord blessed me with some gold!....had a blastTHANKS DAVE!Tom H.

oldies1955 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Thanks all: Got to say, after I found those nugs, I went off a side wash and it was brutal.Had to hook the coil, use the pick and pull myself up a lot. Detect a small area and do it again.Crazy steep and choked with my favorite plant.....cats claw! oooooo how I love that plant.But when you just found gold, it just don't matter how rough it is.Tom H.
