Popular Post Goldseeker5000 Posted July 23, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2022 Got 7 today. Flies weren't too bad. 1.3 grams. Big one is .9 g. The tiniest one is amazingly small- good signal though. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geof_junk Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Goldseeker5000 when I worked my claim back in the early 1980s I dropped the dirt etc on a heavy tarp (Ground Sheet) and dragged is out from the face, spread it out and detected it and repeated it many times. The dirt was hard packed clay and broken bedrock, a lot of effort was put in. I hope you get well rewarded. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldseeker5000 Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 Geof_junk, I have done that before as well. I have also used a small board or Plexi glass, but with this claim we need to be mindful of backfilling. I got a lot to do regarding this. I am detecting on fairly flat rotten bedrock and keeping amount to detect between digging small to keep as many nuggets coming as possible and to backfill as I progress with very little added work. Two birds with one stone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Allison Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Hey Reese,  Sounds like you are doing well, great to hear. Curious, where you are digging by hand, are you finding anything digging down through the layers or is most of the nuggets on bedrock or near bedrock?  Looks like you have hundreds of pieces from the area.  Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldseeker5000 Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 Rob, from top of old tailings all the way down and past native material and into the bedrock. Working a second claim as well. These 29 pieces came from 3 days of detecting. Some areas I am just walking and detecting. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Goldseeker5000 Posted August 3, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2022 Me and a claim partner were at our claim today. I got 3 small pieces and Jamie got his first big nugget. I am the last one of the four of us, still waiting to hit on one. It is just a matter of time and alot of digging. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
