Well, I went out again on Wednesday. I've spent quite a lot of time over the past couple of years reading, looking at maps, driving lots of miles, and doing a lot of walking. And looking. Made sense to me that there had to be some stuff out there. I've looked at several spots within 20 miles or so of this one-kind of circling around, I guess, and closing in. Checked three spots on Wednesday. The first two had some cool stuff but the third was better. May have found something cool. Really too far from home for a day trip, Just too much driving time. The spot is only half a mile or so to the road, but the rock carrying is all uphill. Rocks that are still there (I call it "storing them in situ"). At this point my collecting bag was full and I was getting short on daylight.
A few that I did bring home that day, With any kind of luck I'll be able to get back there before the snow flies. If not, I reckon they'll still be there come spring. Looking forward to running a saw blade through some of them. Thanks for looking. Russ

Nice looking project mtl. How come is it, the better the finds, the steeper uphill the carry out is?

Good looking material. Like the stuff in the third pic. Looks like some potential for dendrites there....Mel

Thanks folks. Some of the material does have dendrites, and some of it I think is pretty cool. Need to get back there and poke around some more.

Very cool finds, I particularly like the 4th photo. I too enjoy the exploration and discovery, any excuse to go places I normally wouldnt. Look forward to seeing what you high grade from the hillside. Cheers
