FLAT FOOT

January 2016 I pulled out a 22 grain piece of gold in the dry wash with a Garrett ATX. Coordinates: 33° 38' 47.30"N 114° 18' 17.78"W.

We also did very well dry washing in several dry washes throughout the claim getting fine and flakes.

Nice easy access. Got a nice flake in first pan of a small shovel full. Gold seems to be in all layers, but I like deep. Got some mini Rice sizes there. Made a video about it on Youtube for the 1 bucket, but got better as I did run some more material after that. Hit and miss for most miners I talked to. Thank you for the opportunity GPAA.

Make your way to the North end of the claim (but south of Highway), beyond the main east/west wash. You'll find multiple smaller washes that feed in to the main wash coming from the North.

First, notice that this area has been worked heavily, there is good reason for that since gold is usually found where it has previously been found. Despite the numerous dry washer piles, you can still find unworked ground, or continue working into the banks that are exposed. I tested three areas, all had gold to varying degrees.

Look for heavy concentrations in your tests, the best areas for me had higher concentrations of black sand and pebbles. Once you find a good pay layer, you can usually follow it into the side of the bank and along the length of the wash.

I tried deeper in areas and didn't necessarily get better concentrations. The side banks in more shallow layers often had just as much gold or more.

Total for 1 day dry washing was 0.3g

I spent about 2 hours there and only found nails, bullets, cans and scraps of steel. No Gold.

Talked with some local prospectors before I went out, learned a little about the area, outside the washes the gold is 6-8ft down on the clay layer. I ran 3 1/4 buckets and was able to pull out a little shiny from where I was working. Planning on going back again soon.
