That was a close call! While exploring around the an abandoned gold mine, the Blue Chip mine. I tripped and fell and started tumbling down a very steep slope. Luckily I was able to keep my head, and flatted out so I stopped rolling and started sliding and finally came to a stop. After I climbed back up and calmed down some, I was able to get back to my prospecting and got a great sample from the weathered out part of the seam to take home and process to see what kind of gold it holds.
