We gave our spot a few days to dry out a little, went up to do my final sweep n crack pickins, and realy go over all my bedrock with my bleeper make sure I didn't leave one hiding out.
well my metal detector didn't work I was bummed cause I hadn't bleeped my spot in a week of digging big no, no, I managed to work about 6 hours on drywashin, but had to make piles as my ore was still fairly moist.
ended up getting a few more crumbs.
got my bleeper working, it turned out to be my head phones, so I went out sunday braved the freezing winds bleeped for about 5 hours found nothing, me and my dog camped out, nearly froze as we aren't equipped for winters that are cold, and left as soon as the sun warmed us up.
Looks like we can still get some more placering before the year is over, I have yet to see if my deposit im digging on has more than one pay zone in it, I have just cleaned the main deposit so far, so now i drop down to the next gravel dump, with any luck i hit another pay zone.
i did a quick spot chk on the exposed bedrock down stream, but it had just a few specks, which led me to believe i had just a small residual placer so i just went to work on the zone.
Heading out to try n see if i can get one more grubstake for 2013.
