[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 291932, member: 367"] The Oak creek runs through our farm and I have dug around there a few times over the years but I couldn't find any gold or even any good looking black sand. We recently got a metal detector and I was going to try detecting on the creek bottom last fall but the beaver had built a dam and flooded the area I was going to detect. I went downstream of the dam and tried a little bit but no luck. A couple of buddies set up a sloosh box in the foothills by the gorge and ran a lot of material through it and claimed they found a couple of teeny specks. I thinking it over I wonder if the gorge areas would be my best bet. Well drilling is interesting, one time I hit coarse black sand from 15'- about 25' that would have been fun to get to with a pan. There's also a couple areas where around 220' you circulate up bits of sea shells and fossils and wood chunks, it smells like sulfer. [/QUOTE]
