End Of The Year Dredging

[PG-Prospecting]

Had a great day out last weekend.  Temps got close to 60, but still had to use the wet suit heater.  Definitely a worth while trip, with some nice coarse chunky gold.  Most of the gold was found caught up in a quartz vein.  Hard to tell if it actually came from that vein or just got caught there.  Will be crushing some of the vein to see if anything comes out of it.  Either way the gold did not travel far at all which has been typical of all the gold found in this stretch of creek.  

Hopefully ill be able to dredge there one more time before the end of the year.  Currently sitting at 0.90 oz for the year would love to get that last 0.1 to make an ounce for this year.  We will see.

That is some nice rough gold with Quartz attached! 

Have you dredged up stream of the vein?

I truly miss dredging, but around here, it's just about impossible to get a permit anymore.

Nice, beautiful gold!

All the best,

Nice to see somebody out dredging - thanks for posting!

Bear -  We still have not found the exact source, i crushed about 20lbs of quartz from the vein i encountered and got pretty much nothing, so that vein was merely a good catch zone for the gold.  I have dredged up stream from the source area and character of the gold changes to rounded.  See the pic below.  There are definitely multiple sources of gold throughout the creek valley.  

 

Thanks for the comments!!
