beatup Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 We took a day off from detecting and went out rockhounding for a day and came across these old workings , the old timers dug some deep cuts across the toes off some of the hills that ran down into the wash and found a couple small drift holes. the holes are about 10 foot deep with a couple small drift holes in each and the longest cut was around 50 to 60 yards long. there were dry washing holes that were just as deep and some were over 12 foot wide, some serious digging going on out there .

delnorter Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 If not claimed, it looks like a good area to sweep with some of the detectors on your list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn in CO Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I agree with Lunk, definitely an area to be swinging a detector! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valens Legacy Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Beautiful pictures with only one thing missing, someone with a detector! Get busy or else I am coming there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatup Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 in this area digging and detecting are not allowed anymore but you can collect rock specimens from the surface as long as you are not doing it for financial gain . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunk Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Must be within a wildlife refuge area or something similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
