We have a location where nuggets over an ounce have been detected over the past twenty years. This location is a small hilltop on which an ancient river channel once flowed.

As a gold prospector for the past ten years, I thought that I had a fair understanding of the steps necessary to find gemstones.

Standing on the edge of the canyon just after daybreak, I was filled with equal measures of excitement and trepidation.

My hunch was that the gold is coming down the apron, falling off to both sides and into both gulches. I say that because the gold we found previously has the same characteristics and color across the entire area.
