SteveG I dont have a lot to update, Ive done some more digging and exposed more of quartz vein which is looking at least a foot across, looks to be coming up from east side striking up to south west at a 40 degree dip. Have dug down below the higher part of vein in shaft floor and havent struck wash or bedrock yet.

Awesome! Please keep letting us know how your progress. Are you getting any fine gold at all?

When started digging hole got some dark loam band intrusion with tree root that had 25 micro bits per pan, and another sample of some white clay material had a picker. Nothing after that I believe this top soil is from when it was bulldozed and moved around. The rest of digging has been thru untouched ground so fingers crossed I find something, Been many hours of hard work.
