22 July 2018 Update,

Had a nice long day trip yesterday Saturday July 21st leaving before the sun rose and returning long after sunset to prospect a new location!  I was invited by some prospectors and since the ground was otherwise off limits to me I said, "Sure, let's give it a go and see what happens!"  The day was great and it started with some metal detecting and wandering somewhat aimlessly trying to get a feel for the claim.  Well, many bullets were recovered and just before lunch I decided on a place to set up the dry washer and prospect for placer gold!  A good half hour run later, I collected the concentrates and panned them down to reveal some pretty YELLOW GOLD!!  This is a forested, high-altitude claim and the weather was dramatic with large black clouds, a lot of thunder, some lightning, and even some rain fortunately after I had pretty much finished my digging.  I was able to collect several bags of concentrates from this spot (Ranger Placer Area) which are available for sale to support the GTAO Vlogs channel.  I spent a couple hours after this driving around the area for a little more learning of the roads and the place and then about sundown started the drive home.  Usually, I try to stay out a night or two but because of the rain and the threat of more, I just headed for home, a shower, and a good rest.  I met some great people, prospected some new ground, learned at least a couple new things, and made it home just fine!  Looking forward to the next trip and some more wide open spaces!!  Thanks for stopping by and please consider buying some pay dirts, concentrates from dry washing, ( Products ) and or please join us on ( Patreon ) as a Patron ($1 or more per month) to help the channel financially.  We can really use the support and hope continue with our plans, goals, and dreams!  Thanks again friends!  Aaron from GTAO Vlogs  #gtaovlogs, #gtaovlogspatreon,
