[QUOTE="Philski, post: 36716, member: 1553"] This is from a flogged out area on our West Coast Range. all off the top 2 meters. The first 2 weeks were spent on and around Mount Meredith. Its simply stunning and practically unexplored with modern machines. But found trace gold and observed lots of other economic minerals. Walked Lots, shoveled little.

We also got a half gram picker and a bit of shotty (match head size) and flaky gold average first week was 3 grams per ton, second week was about 1g per ton. We sampled creeks in a catchment and hit the best creek first> taking any workable gravels as we went. area has been turned upside down historically. But, found several patches of workable tailings and some virgin gravels. Interestingly the virgin stuff produced zero gold off the bottom. How the old timers knew? Nothing with either the gpx 5000 - 11" mono or x terra 70 - 6 inch DD The shovel is awesome. [/QUOTE]
