Oh heck yeah! A brief visit (<30 minutes) and ran three test pans of material. Found surface gold in locations of exactly where it should be (i.e., inside bend, behind large boulder, and bench). Promising results of simple surface material with abundant fines and small flakes. Beautiful area!! I’ll be returning to this location at another time!
FYI, be mindful that during the warm months this is rattlesnake and mountain lion country. Have fun and be aware of your surroundings.
