garikfox Posted March 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Thanks Rob I loved this place for some reason, but the "red ramp of death" i'll call it actually scared me lol. I think i'm going to spend a day out there and flatten it near the end. I'll show you a picture of it. The video didn't show how bad it actually was and unfortunately that's the only way to the claim that i'm aware of.

Admin nuggethunting Posted March 1, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Hey Garik, Ya, I know how some of those roads can be, especially after the rainy season. Have you been working any of the bedrock on the claims? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garikfox Posted March 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Just what was seen in the video, I did find a quartz vein but you can tell it was picked to death already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim P. Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 I found my first piece of gold ever with a gold pan, about 5 feet in front of where you parked. It was a GPAA claim at the time if I remember correctly. Of course, the gravel was about four feet lower at that time and the bedrock in front of you was exposed as a ledge. Hard for me to believe, but that was over thirty years ago. It's still out there, good luck. Later...Jim P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garikfox Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Thanks Jim P., Interesting! Do you think the last major storms filled it with gravel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always changing, probably been filled and blown clean many times over the years. Depends on velocity, suspended solids, duration Etc. That's why it pays to get to know an area, so you recognize newly exposed bedrock or reduced overburden above bedrock.
