I stopped by a friends place this past weekend and him and some buddies had setup a small wash plant on a large bench deposit he had found. They had dug down 9 feet to get to the bedrock. I did some sample panning of the many layers, trying to help them find where the best gold was hiding. I could have gotten the best gold just working the contact zone between the boulders and the saprolite bedrock, but I wanted to test all the layers to make sure that's where the best gold was at. Gold at the end is out of one scoop of my cons from that sample panning. I still have to pan out about 3 more gallons of cons. I dont know how much gold they got from cleaning up the big sluice exactly, but it was a whole lot more then my panning take. I know they had some 5+ gram cleanups in the past. I also tested their tailings (they also had tested them) and found nothing.
