[QUOTE="TheMediocritist, post: 389044, member: 11798"] Thats what I thought, but I crushed a few lumps and got nought. Mind you, my chunkiest stuff so far came from a crevice where I broke up some of the same stuff, so maybe thats where the bigger bits came from? The old timers seem to have been following a lower layer in the ancient river bed. Heres one of their holes high above the creek. Ive marked the stuff that looks the same as the hot rocks around the creek. It doesnt look red in this crappy photo but it is. [img]https://i.imgur.com/m8a8JAB_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=High[/img] Judging by the extent of the carefully hand stacked stone walls and sluice channels carved into bedrock, they must have been finding good gold here.
