[QUOTE="user 1769, post: 142852, member: 1769"] Hey madworld, That looks like a fairly small creek. My experience is that often in creeks that size the old timers did a pretty thorough job. Is it a creek that is known for producing in modern times? (Sorry, I know nothing about the area). A second thing to look out for: It looks like granite bedrock. In my experience, hard granite weathers fairly smooth and doesn't trap a lot of gold. Look for places with slate bottom, or for rotten, soft granite/clay bottom or false bottom. The clay often grabs onto flaky gold and can be good to get an idea. [/QUOTE]
