No Problem. We're in very different time zones anyways, so I'm used to getting (You)'s while I'm sound asleep. Plus, I wouldn't want to get advice from someone who's on 4Chan 24/7, with no live besides that anyways.

>if your at the high water mark, search out the really compacted cracks and bore holes. As for the beach shot try a bit further up the bedrock, again looking for anything thats made its way down into deeper cracks. That particular area around the number 4 point might be good too but only deep down if there are boulders or large stones.
That pic has been taken at very low water. I don't have the gauge data for the last 4 years, but for anytime before that, and we're currently at record low water. There's like only 5 periods in the last 70 years it has been lower. My thinking is that heavier stuff should be lower (dredging that spot would be interesting, there should be some very interesting pockets in the Talweg, but lack of equipment and the law are against that), so I'm trying to get as close to the waters edge as possible.
I've also got some small specks at (1) a few years ago (4 spoonfuls of material yielded like 8 flakes, still less than 0.0001g, but the ratio ain't too bad, I think), and that is about the level of "normal" floods, but there have some some real funny ones like a meter above the top edge of that pic.
Guess I just have to invest an hour or two (or three, if those holes are big, I'm looking at moving, classifying and panning something close to a cubic meter) to clean out those spots.

Now, here's a spot I'm wondering about.
As you can see, that "beach" is all fine sand, which is not a good sign. But it's the most exposed spot and at flood, it should get some eddies.
Plus, there's plenty of erosion (1) and potholes (2,3). (1) is very shallow and clean, but (2), (3) and (4) are filled, also with some visible pebbles, but mostly, its fine sands, even silt, as (5).
I guess I'll just have to clean out (2) or (3). Probably can discard the first few inches of sand (unless a test pan says otherwise) and then I just have to see how deep down it goes and what it brings.
