Bedrock Vs. Cemented Gravels


Recommended Posts


Hi Tom

 Well you hit what one would call false bedrock. Like you said you’re finding gold on top of this .

 What I’m about to say and to do some would say a big question why but only cost you a little time. If you can get your hands on a hand post hole digger try this . Dig a hole pass that false bedrock and as you dig pan the material that you bring out . That false bedrock was made over time and between it , it’s a true bedrock that your post hole digger may hit . Remember things have been going on long before man came on the scene. Who knows you may hit another false bedrock of different material before you reach the real one .

 From what it’s worth department . I miss your face and voice coming from White’s.

Good to see you around Tom, I thought you'd done the runner on us ?

Nice gold too, A mixture of chunky and flat bits.  I do hope that's not a glass bottle, I learnt the hard way not to use them!
 

I've been there mate. Spent a whole summer working bedrock and dropped a glass vial once - never again! I take plastic out in the field and save the glass ones for home.

It's been a busy spring with working my new gig so trips have been rare, but I'm hoping to get out more once things slow down.

glass vial in the clothes dryer even worse...I stick with plastic lipstick round containers now.

I hope to get gold in the creek gravels laying on bedrock this weekend where  I found a public access on an Indiana creek.

Just hope the gravels are shallow. That trick worked upstream where my buddy panned out 3 small nuggets in maybe 8 inch thick layer of gravels. Maybe I better bring a detector too? Hmm, GB2, MXT, Lobo ? No ground minerals but most likely all kinds of fishing stuff and weights and camping trash.
