My previous post is the only logical explanation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All right! I concede! The wind made the piles- - - - but the wind came from a dry washer. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigsAlot Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Could have been a screen off point. Dirt transported to another process point. I do it all the time. That is what it looks like when I leave an area. If not the above, then it is most definitely a polar bear den (on vacation). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my very first thought that popped into my mind when they first popped into my view. It's funny how I didn't even see them the first time around when camping nearly right on the spot. The second time around it was almost as if my subconsciousness noticed there was something odd about their organization throughout the surrounding area. I think what caused me to miss them in the first place was that they had weathered to nearly flush with the surrounding dirt. There were about 17 to 20 of them in a 100 sq ft area. I found another area removed about 1/4 mile from them that looked very similar, but only had 5 to 6 rock piles--again, without tailings or digs. So, if they truly happened to be rake piles, all from about the same time period, how would you choose to go about testing the area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do what I said before but I would use a coil of the elliptical type for coverage as the good size pieces will come up with little problems but the smaller bits will be easier to hear with the narrower width of a elliptical than round coil of the same size. Wish you luck, from what you have said it looks like the previous prospectors were chasing scattered gold. So cover a lot of ground around the workings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
