YAHOO #4

I have prospected this claim a number of times over the years and have had great days and really bad days. The bad days are mostly of my own doing by wandering around looking for something new.
Like the entire area there are a number of bedrock faults that run in a number of directions.
When scouting a spot for Drywashing, I follow the flow of the rain.
Through the center of the claim running SW to the NE (kinda) you will see that there is low lying area. Any of the bedrock areas of contact or crossing contact points are well worth testing.
There are a few of these contact zones that cross the exposed bedrock and if you follow those and follow the surface minerals where the bedrock drops, I have found a few pockets in these spots.

4x4 or quad required. High clearance 2wd with locker should be able to get around. Off camber road with loose rock. Nothing crazy, but definitely no cars.

Not much shade, so plan accordingly.

Decent fines to be had, but its spotty and changes quickly. Don't touch the fine sand, its a trap. Sample your work area before you waste the day.

I used the recirc high banker and found decent color.

Prospecting this site really pays off. If you go into the wash, you wont have any fun!
No gold to speak of in the main wash. Get up out of there get into the higher areas and you will find good gold. Hit the benches, just anywhere outside the dry wash will elevate your chances to get some good gold.
The gold I have found has been deep, on bedrock. Old flooded stream bed, you will know you are in the right zone when you dig down past the fine material and get into cobble then a little farther down fist sized rounded stones a little more down and find 12" and greater boulders sitting on bedrock in a way that the material has deformed to the boulders shape to create a pocket. Gold is good between the fist sized stones and the bedrock.
Good locations are areas that gathers very large boulders and out of place boulders that do not match the others in the area and on the surface that have been moved from way, way up stream during massive flood events. And are not in the small dry wash.
This has worked very well for me; I hope it works well for you. And if it does, please post and rate this claim so we can keep it.
Thanks.
