Prospecting & Detecting
The “Chuck It Out” Nugget

Prospecting in the Age of Covid-19
I have a bunch of ideas about what to do in the near term and then other thoughts about what things might look like a few months from now when I hope the situation will look a lot better.

George was considering filling his dredge floats with closed-cell foam, ensuring that there would be no area available within each float for flooding.
The Kern River
There are clubs with claims in the area and there’s a section of the river open to the public, but the rest of the area is claimed up so do your research first.
