   Great job following the bedrock! Nice that it was shallow enough to do that! Nice haul! Hope to see more!!??

You are right.  I dug 6 more holes.  For 3 the bedrock went straight on down.  Based on this tiny sample, I will follow two rules:  1) I won't dig unless the site is sort of hemmed in by bedrock on at lest two sides (it's probably too deep if it isn't); and 2) I won't dig unless there is evidence someone got gold within a couple of feet (I will miss some gold, but I won't fail as often.).

Well done now that you are on a roll. Here is your next challenge., Though it was more like five weeks or so not five days.?
400 bits took the larger bit out.

To be fair I will give you till they get Cov 19 under control to do it. ?

 

At my rate, it'll take that long especially since the fires make my area largely inaccessible.  Nice photo.
