Looking for someone to walk one of our claims here in Arizona to tell me what I am doing wrong on finding gold in the desert. Only getting around .10 of a gram for a yard of dirt with my drywasher. I know I'm running it right because I usually take a couple of buckets of my tailing home to pan out. Usually finding nothing in the tailings. Need help for sure. Not wanting to get rich but would like to get closer to the half gram mark if that is possible here in the desert.
Thanks Stan
