By 'seam" are you referring to the geologic setting Known as "seam diggings" or wide zones of quartz stringers, most commonly seen in the vicinity of Spanish Dry Diggings and Georgia Slide?

Yes wide zones of mineralization that's eroding near the surface but on the other side of the divide on the Kelsey side . The Gold is found in pockets and stringers on and near the surface .

That's a period lol at the end . It was found at the end of a cut where they were dumping waste rock over the side we found a few more pieces covered in a black matrix ? that we left in acid overnight to reveal some nice gold . I'll try to find a photo for another post .
