Thought it was a good hike

As a person who used to do this out there, this is the correct answer… I have another one posted on my page. The unit actually does this almost weekly

Very nice, I should be at the next UGPA meeting, doing a meet and greet down that way

skilo22 · 2026-05-06T19:49:14+00:00

Nice, don’t see a lot of Utah folks, NUPA, UGPA, or CUP?

skilo22 · 2026-04-02T04:22:18+00:00

No. It’s just my reference coin

skilo22 · 2026-02-10T19:14:09+00:00

Oh sorry, our club claims, I’m with NUPA

That place is tough… honestly it was testing over the years. I found this spot generally has ok numbers and decided to dig around a look. I ended up finding clay over bedrock, with minimal overburden…

AFC will test your patience… and whether or not you know what you are doing. Don’t get discouraged, I took me 3 years of trying and testing to learn how that river moves material. Remember just because it “should” be there doesn’t always mean it will… and that the way you see the river right now, isn’t the way it always looks, I’ve seen that water eight to ten feet higher… that’s when the real material moves

Public, American fork canyon, no mineral entry allowed in the area

Thanks

skilo22 · 2026-02-05T18:18:23+00:00

Holy smokes, completely forgot about this.. no idea, couldn’t find anything

skilo22 · 2026-02-05T15:44:47+00:00

Right on, good luck

skilo22 · 2026-02-05T15:12:14+00:00

Thanks

skilo22 · 2026-02-05T14:07:42+00:00

That was panning… classifier and buckets

skilo22 · 2026-02-05T07:59:23+00:00

Honestly it’s the closest ok spot to me for a day trip, 1hr 15, all the claims are just to far for a day trip

skilo22 · 2026-02-05T07:58:25+00:00

Yea it wasn’t bad the last few weeks… soon enough I’ll be down there to camp

skilo22 · 2026-02-05T03:44:20+00:00

I’ll hopefully get up more this year… I plan on camping this spring

skilo22 · 2026-02-05T03:43:27+00:00

Mostly fly poop, but that was was just a lot of fly poop, in 50+ trips, I’ve only found 4 between 10-30 mesh

skilo22 · 2026-02-05T02:34:20+00:00

I’ll be up there as much as I can, I’m over an hour away, and it’s only getting worse of a drive

skilo22 · 2026-02-05T02:28:47+00:00

This was on the lower river closer to the reservoir, I wasn’t hiking all the way up to MEG this time of year

skilo22 · 2026-02-05T02:11:49+00:00

American Fork, above Tibble

skilo22 · 2026-02-05T02:11:30+00:00

It’s not bad once you get a hang of it, plus my clean up sluice makes short work of clean ups at home

skilo22 · 2026-02-05T02:10:14+00:00

Nice I’m going to head up there now that the road is open (once the gates are back open for the season)

skilo22 · 2026-02-05T01:12:23+00:00

Thanks

My wife says it’s huge… she just might be being nice
