[QUOTE="RotGrub, post: 178072, member: 5195"] MJB, There are mounds and depressions all over the claim. We first went into the current creek bed and punched 2 pits. The second pit produced 3/4 oz of nice gold with a few chunky nuggets. I concluded that TP1 & 2 were located in an old tailing channel so we decided to look for the original creek bed which led us south of TP2. Due to the lack of water there has been very little modern mining on this claim and over the last 130 years there has been floods which have covered much of the claim. I'm guessing there is approximately 5 ft of overburden over much of the old creek. We will probably dig another test pit further south of TP3 but since the current creek (tailings) is giving up decent gold we'll probably work it until the gold runs out or we get new info from searching the claim.
