Working bedrock in a wash with a gas powered vacuum in the Imperial county desert

Down on the Cargo claim working in a small arroyo. We dug down about 12 inches through rock and gravel to get to bedrock. I am using a gas powered vacuum (vac pac) to remove the material from the bedrock. We classifed down to #4 and ran about 8 buckets through the drywasher. We got some really nice color for the small amount of material we ran, but it was a lot of work! I guess if it was easy, gold wouldnt be $1750 an ounce!
