    Noticed the Daiwa hat. I spend a lot of time fishing in creeks but I have never done any prospecting. I think it might make sense to fish early and late in the day, when the fishing is best and prospect from mid-morning until late afternoon. Sound reasonable?

    Interesting that some of the gold appears river-worn while other pieces seem coarse. Could that indicate that gold has been accumulating there for a long time, so some of it is recently-deposited and some has been sitting there for a longer period?

    • @VoGusProspecting

      The sharp bits are water worn on one side indicating that they were attached to a rock up until very recently.
