Private property sample... Awesome opportunity

Hangtown, what fork of the Cosumnes?. I live on the middle fork about a mile below Mt. Aukumn rd. It looks somewhat familiar.

When then is the creekside BBQ at your house?
 

It's the fork next to the soup spoon I think..
 

Thanks Kevin, yep exited with sample results! Been working a nice spot on the creek for some time now and a half gram or so take by sluicing 7 hours is considered a decent day. So .21 of a gram for a quick small sample at a cool new place is fine by me:) Great sign for good gold to be had, hope to be saying what the buzzard said soon.. Need to pay off the miner with the miner and looking forward to getting my GB pro detector out more with hopes for its first gold. Plans to spend Saturday and Monday there so will see how it goes..
Armchair... On the north fork. How's the color on middle fork ? Awesome area you live in. Spent almost a couple years in somerset on the bucks bar side of sand ridge, even found a little backyard gold there.. Live a bit closer to diamond springs now and love it..

Made it back out to the property yesterday and good bud Aufisher came with. AU hurt his foot crossing the river first thing. Was cooking in the sun and only the second sample so we dug easy. Sampled more slate and wet classified about six or so buckets to half inch. Bazooka did great with the classified state, had a good amount of fines sticking to the plate but didnt see much other color heading for the trap. Did one clean out at the end of the trip and had a nice surprise with better gold than expected! Two thick little pickers, a good amount of nice smaller pieces and some super fine flour! Happy with the take for it being the second sample. Great to now know and safe to say some good gold at this new spot to be had:)
Awesome day AU! Happy you got to check the place out and get some diggin in too! Sorry about your foot buddy, hope you get well soon as we have a lot to do:occasion14:
Plans to go back and high bank with Goldwasher tomorrow:headbang: Will see how it goes..
