funny story I been doing small trips to other claims and been out of luck. Last weekend I took my kid out to try his banjo pan out at a creek right across the street from my house. Ended up pulling 8 small nuggets just the hour we where there. Now every day after I drop kids off I take the baby and get a bucket of gravel out of the creek and been getting a few flakes every time. Even a shovel head that was 3 feet under the gravel and some square nails when I used my brother in laws metal detector. Slowly making my way up the creek hoping for some bigger nuggets. Have 40 acres of black berrys along time creek to fight.
