    Great information as usual Gary! Is it possible for you to do a video about reading a small creek (really small, able to cross most places in the fall without getting wet) in one of your videos? I had a claim on and off for over 30 years, and very seldom could I find flood gold, but 10 grain on up to 5 penny weight nuggets were common. Mind you, over 30 years it became harder and harder to find any gold, but the first 5 years was a sniper’s paradise. I guess my point is educating people not to overlook those small creeks.

    It’s not that you get a big flood every hundred years. It’s that every year you have a 1% chance of extensive flooding

    Offer an opinion - I know there's no way to know for sure. 🤣 Do you think the square nails were from sluice/water-troughs/etc. that the "old timers" were using to mine with (and the wood has been carried off or rotted) or what? Certainly not cabins or something. What time period are you thinking for those workings?

    When you find square nails in the workings, I think they are from the old sluice boxes and riggings. When you come across nail from a cabin there are a lot of them in a small area.
