Well done - can't wait to hear more of the story.!
 

Great work!! I wouldn't have even thought to try in that spot. What gave you the clue???
 

Hell ya!! I would follow it as far as it goes!! I'm curious to, is that in your area?? Back yard??
 

I kinda need to do some checking on paper,before I can say a whole lot more.
 

I did some sluicing and drywashing there I found a little, but I was new to the quest then , back in the early 1990s.
this is a map I found.:goldpan:
Keysville Rec Mining Area.webp
I was there only twice but want to go back.:goldpan:
 

I live 20 mins from there have been testing that whole place and never seen gold like that. Awesome find!!! Happy panning!
 

So with that place like so many.I like to work contact layers.I tend to pick any kind of slow spot and sample for the pockets.always seems like you have to move alot of burden.typically the best contact is bedrock but if you find a good clay layer its often worth the effort to work.also I dont waste my time digging unless I hit hardpack within a couple feet.expect to get bothered by the blm.but dont let them bully you off the place.public land is still public
