Default Not much to report

Thanx All,
Nothing to report this week, went out wednesday,but did'nt find anything,
kinda ventured to a different location,just to check it out, worked the decomposed granite looking for nuggets,had to hike in about 1 1/2 miles
but it was there just like the geology report said,, but all i found was allot of bird shot,the place looks good,,befor leaving for home i hit the tailing piles for an hour or so,,regret now not just sticking to the plan of working that tailing pile over,,probly only been through 10% of it yet,,but next week i'll hit'er hard,,
