Gold prospecting story was send in by Rick, one of our subscribers:
A good friend of mine discovered a creek that apparently was overlooked by the 49′ers. I call it Nugget Creek. The creek is about 20 feet wide in an isolated canyon in the Mother lode. He literally goes sniping in the 1-2 foot deep water with a homemade PVC sight tube and some tweezers and finds an oz a day of 3-7dwt nuggets that are found only in the center of the creek (the paystreak is only in the center of the creek).
