DUMB LUCK

Returned to get a better run since last time was too damp. Wash has since dried out to use the drywasher.

Probably actually dug for an hour or so, with clean ups every 15 min. 4 total.

Once it warmed up the Bees seemed too interested in my activities. I'm ok with them doing their thing but don't appreciate them buzzing my face and following me around.

There might be some decent color here if you can put in a longer day.

The wash was still too damp to run anything through the drywasher and panning samples didn't have anything so I had to look elsewhere.
Noticed there were diggings on the side so ran a couple buckets of that. It was 95% dirt, with a little bit of rock. Wasn't expecting anything, but did get 5 pepper flakes.
Lots of old digging signs, rocks stacked up every 10 feet, lots of old drywash piles.

Gold Fever of the West Valley did a clean up in January. Filled a couple of big holes but overall the claim has been well maintained. Thank you members. I marked all 4 corners, the southern end is rugged, but it looks like there may be some promising places if you do a little hiking. As with most claims the easy to reach spots appear to have been worked well.

It was my first time heading to Dumb Luck and I had good results looking in the little fingers coming off the hills at the front of the Claim. I will definitely be heading back.
