I was their last week, with my detector and didn't find much. Its cool just leave the little tree alone thats green. How long were you their? Im posting a video from were I went today as well. Did you find anything I always seem to find stuff their I don't know what it is but that place dose have a lot of quartz laying around. We should make a day and go their together. Well have a good one and try to keep it quiet. LOL..

@jessgo33 I spent about 3 hours down their but half the time I spent playing around with my daughter (we had a pick-nick). I ran about 3 buckets and found 2 nice little pickers and about 5 flakes. I had you in mind when I was picking a place to dig in (I didn't want to invade your spot). There is quartz veins all over that area one of which runs across the hill above the creek, there is also some veins that have been mined not to far up from that spot. so that would be my guess........

@jessgo33 that would be my guess to why there is such an Abundance of quartz their. I think it would be cool to go prospecting together. I've spent a lot of time in the mountains and canyons around here I know a lot of good places. p.s. Don't worry, I wont give up your secret spot
