Time to move to Southern Oregon ( Jackson or Josephine county). I found 0.135 g in once hand shovel full under a rock the size of two basket balls. Let me know when you arrive I'll show you the area :) I have a video up of the pan back that scoop...
@@Bandit_Prospecting Actually the gravel bar as a whole is disappointing. It and another one are the result of two big floods which swept much richer ground ( and more easily workable) downstream. In the 80s my current wife, then girl friend, used to work the upper gravel bars for 4-5 hours and get an average of 1/2 oz classifying to 1/2 in minus and running an A52 Keene sluice. We had a few 1 oz plus days as well. Hence the title of my video Looking for the pay streak. Still though it is decent. In the right spots a 3 ' x 3 ' area digging 2 feet down can yield 1+ grams and the chance to always find a 1/2 g flake or better. I have a good idea looking at LIDAR where a lot of that good gold went and is still laying. Thing is I am not going to dig 12-15 feet to get it. But, I still enjoy videos like yours as it really is just a day o nthe river with bonus! Too bad lead isnt $2000 + and oz ;)
What a blast fam. Keep on having fun getting that Au and living the dream. Gold Squad Out 🤠
I appreciate you! Thanks, @GSProspecting!
Wow what a great little spot for crevicing
@@americaswildestprospector it's a great spot for crevicing. Not very good if you want to just run buckets of pay. You have to work to get your pay.
The Bandit! Where you hail from Bandit?

Very nice man. That the place in Rochester?
That would be correct, good sir!
@Bandit_Prospecting awesome job man. Should have told us we would have brought out a dredge with blaster nozzle
@cluelessprospectors8711 this was the Saturday that Show Me had their outing. I still need to see how someone with experience runs a dredge.
@Bandit_Prospecting well let me know when u find those experienced persons lmao. We r clueless!! Lmao. Anytime man
@cluelessprospectors8711 I just got a Keene setup with a sluice, highbanker and dredge. I'm excited to give it a try.
🎉😊
Thanks, @mamabird70!
