I remember that rock. Two newbies borrowed Matt Matson's dredge and found 13 ounces in 2000. The next year two pros hit the same spot and picked up 65 ounces before the rock moved and scared them out of their hole. I believe I was told the hole was 30 feet deep.

Well 13 OZs would defiantly set the gold bug hook in anyone! and with a borrowed dredge!

Actually solid bedrock, where on the trinity was that rock you speak of??John

[cowboy444]

The rock I was talking about was on the Umpqua River at Rivers West RV Park. That's where they held their first Dredge Earth First Rally in 2000. That rock in Johns' post looks exactly like it.

Here's "the rock" before it was dredged to death. I have more pictures on a different hard drive. This one is from the old forum.
