Really good video demonstrating what it takes to prospect for gold. I would start exposing the bedrock from that drywash, up the highest peak connected to the drywash. There is a decent piece hiding in the hill next to that wash, waiting for the metal detector, without a doubt
Good stuff and video guys!. 🤘.... that looks about right for the gold our club claims have here in socal.. ours can be real spotty!!.... maybe a narrow sampling trench across that wash may give you gold path?? Looking forward to next one with some pickers or a nug!!! 😉
After we finished filming we did a little testing with our hammer drill and opened up as much of a hole we could but the caliche was thicker than anticipated. We would need at least a 35lb jack hammer to get through it all to find that out. I'm sure if we had that equipment available to us we would probably find some good gold trapped underneath. We've been told by other club members that there is good gold deeper down and people have found big nuggets throughout that area. Hopefully we can dig that out one day and try to find what's hidden underneath - Collin
@@T.D.F.RoadtoGold Yeah, I figured you guys might have already started chasing it down. That area looks promising. I saw a lot of cobble lying around in the video, so my guess is the "channel" is probably all over the place (and at different depths). Good luck, looks like a fun spot. I have seen that the old timers used to cut a ditch across their claims to look for the paystreaks. that could work at your spot.
Great job all around fam. Happy holidays. Keep at it. Gold Squad Out 🤠
Puff, puff, puff, puff it’s so relax !!!

*Spoiler alert* found good gold in an area and plan on doing just that for another video 😎
Maybe try punching a hole down thru a layer of Caliche to see if there is any ancient river channel below?

We have a few videos that will be coming out after the New Year where we do just that *spoiler* - Collin
