THE JACKPOT.. Using a string of one-inch diameter PVC pipe fitted with a 90-degree nozzle at the top and a water fitting at the bottom, the pipe was fed into the drill hole length by length until the top of the basement rocks was reached. Water was then pumped through the pipe, washing sand and gravel back down the hole where 5 pounds of material was collected and recovered. The coarser material was found to include rounded quartz and chert cobbles to 2 inches in diameter, the largest material that could fit in the drill hole and pass by the PVC pipe. The recovered sand and gravel was then carefully panned, and several small pieces of visible gold were found..
