Flood Gold Day Two

The success of the first day prompted me to return using the GMT only and see what I could turn up again. The water was still flowing and everything looked good. Plus a buddy just got a new truck and wanted to take it out. Look at all that exposed bedrock! Full of cracks!

In one spot I had a signal, dug into the bedrock, hit some gypsum ( sugar crystal ) and managed to find an air pocket under the bedrock, the water even seeped in from underneath! Look at the gypsum crystals in my hand, very nice.

As far as gold goes check out a few of the nice nuggets, 3.2 grams...Look where my finger is pointing...right at a nice crack that produced a nugget. Detecting gold underwater.

Remember check those cracks! Don't miss your flood gold!
