Well we didn't get to spend to much time sluicing yesterday, we had goals of clearing out fallen trees and other overburden. Probably 40-50 shovels at best... The fallen tree stump had to go and all the material behind it. The bottom of the hole. Scott brushing down some rocks we pull by hand. Tree stump gone and more overburden cleared, and guess what found another huge slab hiding. This was vertical long ways... now we rolled it backwards and layed it down ready to be moved out next weekend. Pay attention to this hole now as it had refilled with overburden that we let the stream do the washing and shovel it back out the next weekend. In the first pic the area was cleared about 3' deep... Our Sluicing rock in the middle we just set the sluice and angle and level are already set. This is how we sluice, we shovel straight into the classifier. And finally the gold for a few shovels. Nice BB's.

Nice looking gold there, seems to be consistently pretty chunky.

Just to clarify we are not digging into any banks... this is a gravel flood area and every time it rains it washes the large overhang we are under more and more... exposing more loose material and slab area... it has been washing out for years... look how old the stump cut is... God made this hole and we're just collecting his bounty he provides!
We only dig where the water is flowing over not against...
