little San Domingo gold

[leadnugget]

did some dry washing out at little San Domingo before the rain hits today.
ran 6, 5 gal buckets from the vac. not bad. i will have to come back to this spot
when it drys out.
the chunky one is only 1.5 grains, found it in my 1/8th classifier.
7 grains total.

Looking good, it’s always exciting to see the yellow, was it dry enough before the rain ? What Drywasher are you using?

 

[leadnugget]

it was dry where i was working, but it was only 1 to 5 inches deep to bed rock in full sun.
it did rain but it should dry out in 1 or 2 weeks.
i have 2 older gold buddy dry washers, one small and large. used the small one.
very little gold in overburden most all the gold was on/in bedrock in small vugs and cracks.
homemade crack vacuum got most of the gold.
next time i go out i think i will shovel off the overburden
and only run the stuff from bedrock down.

Looks like a good little spot. Definitely shovel off the overburden and save yourself some time in that area. Keep and eye out for burrows out there
