Out working in a large wide flat wash , deep overburden in the wash but gold has been found in it , two days ago my brother dug up a nice 5 gram nugget from the transition area where the hillside becomes the wash and today I dug these two piece from the hillside about 10 to 20 feet above the wash. IMG_5385.thumb.JPG.da206c1920632ca8902f9106a851aa4f.JPG

beatup I have to say, I love the course nuggets you found the photo. I'm glad you pointed this out. I think where you found them is very important. I'm just going to say and I've said this before all the gold out there isn't always in the creek. thanks for sharing.

beatup it's not that occasional big one that keeps me hunting the hillsides, it's multi-pound patches.

I've said many times that if you find gold in the wash or the flats you need to at least give the surrounding hillsides a go. Nice gold beatup!

Not sure which one of you guys I picked this up from but this image is always on my mind when I'm out detecting the hillside. But if I know AZNuggetBob he will have a better depiction. I still treasure his depiction of a gold vein at the top of a wash.
