John-Edmonton Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Found a pay-streak in a patch of hard pan. It had about 1" of mud covering it, and it didn't look very enticing. It was a challenge getting my shovel into it, but what a surprise! I used my bigger GEO drop riffle highbanker.....faster shoveling = more gold, right? Here's what yesterday's adventure looked like. And..........and also dug up a nice coral fossil out of the North Saskatchewan River. Here's what 4 hours of digging got me........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valens Legacy Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 That looks just like what I pull out of the creeks around my area, and most of it is about 3-4 inches into the mud. I find that it shows up for quite a ways along the creek and the larger stuff is about another 4 inches deeper. How deep did you find that gold? Nice hunting and glad to see you get it out of the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-Edmonton Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share Posted July 23, 2023 I usually just dig the top 4-5 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
