I went for a hunt the other day, deer not gold. Took the pan along anyway, since it was close to Springs Junction, as it turns out the creek in mention has quite a lot of schist/slate type of bedrock running it's length. I did a few hours panning one day, got some flakes in the pan. I'll be heading back in the summer with the wetsuit for some sniping.
