I noticed the giant tree that had fallen over behind you do you think that had something to do with why it hadn't been touched? The tree was growing on that spot?
@VoGusProspecting3 жыл бұрын
It's hard to say. The tree is severely fire damaged and the last fire through there was 2009. Its also completely dry and had ferns growing out of it. So it's been dead for a while. My thought is that it died some time ago and fell recently.

Well I don’t know about everyone else but that huge tree that fell over was definitely an obstruction and upstream and downstream of an obstruction is always juicy in gold bearing areas as old as that tree is I’d try right where the root ball is dropping material is should be concentrated there unless heavy rains have washed it downstream there may be a good size nugget in there. Great pickers CONGRATS and area thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏻👊🏻
