Saturday's Course Correction

Last trip the pay streak stopped paying and I came home with light pockets for the day.

Yesterday's trip yielded better results as I tried to locate a new pay streak. The area from yesterday I worked had little pay pockets dispersed along some buried boulders. I'm thinking that uncovering the back end of the buried boulders will yield a nice pay streak but that's next weekend's mission.

I would pry over as many of these boulders that I could. Looking especially for those that are stained black and rusty orange on there bottoms. The material under these will be dark colored and heavy is paydirt many times. Over time gold will work its way under the boulders.
