I went to 4 really nice spots that an old time dredger showed me where they dredged started and stopped as late as 2003. Where in the creek to pull nuggies out of, he also showed me the collection of pennyweight and half pennyweight nugs they were finding before the dredging was shut down... Gonna go this weekend and move some big rock and start digging some big holes.

Matt, it will be a few weeks at least before I can get some time off work. I will get in touch with you when I am headed that way.

Well spent 2 days moving slabs and boulders to get the site ready. This is from the first test run of a few buckets from the silt and top layer of the bench. Can't wait to get back this weekend and get more material processed.

Thanks guys, hopefully you can make it Jim. I have a couple other guys that have been helping, but not sure how much they will go. I will be every weekend that I can. Anyone is welcome to join me anytime.

Thanks, Don't mean to jump in on your deal, just looking for another go at a creek. I enjoy the hunt just as if not more than the total.

No problem. I am usually by myself so I enjoy the company. This is on private property so I can have any guests that I like. Just send me a pm.

It's been a while since I've updated, still working on the same site. So far each cleanup has been very nice. For me at least. Another cleanout... And another smaller run...
