Anyone else going to the Thermal City 2 day Gold Dig on Labor Day Weekend?

I'll be there Sept 1st & 2nd and will be bringing along some of my home made equipment to use.
Was hoping to see some of the NC T-net posters there.

Wish one or more of you guys would post your finds at that dig. I've been wanting to go there for years.

We'll I took the family by today on a Sunday drive. Tracked down good guy. He seemed like a very nice guy and both me and my son were impressed by his top notch homemade gear. He showed us some pretty gold he had found to boot. The campground itself looked like a lot of fun. I was glad to have gotten over and met up, and I believe next time ill bring the camper and join in.

Met Goody there also,got to talk w/him a little while,went back to the motorhome to take a nap and Debby woke me up when it was time to go to bed,LOL.
I was going to invite him over for breakfast but he pulled out before I got too.
Seems they had a decent turnout for the dig,and from what I saw they found some pretty good gold. Wes

Enjoyed meeting everyone!

Had a great time, just got home a little tired from all the shoveling into a hungry trommel and the drive home. Will post pics in a couple of days as soon as I finish running my cons down the miller table.

I tried to video a little of the trommel in action. (will post it once I figure out how) Found some nice flakes in the inspection mat so I'm hoping for plenty more when I run the cons.

It was great meeting Bell and family and Goldgiter and wife hope we can meet up again (drinks are on me)

That's all for now gonna hit the sack.

Ok folks........

I've posted the video of my trommel being fed by a friendly young volunteer from the Tennessee prospector group who had the high banker next to me. Some really great guys whom I had the pleasure of getting to know during my two days at the camp.

Keep in mind that this is my first video and it was taken with a $25 video camera from Big Lots.

I'm still working on the cons so I'll post those photos later.

You make neat stuff GG.

Thanks

And here's the take from Thermal City after running 2 yards of material .....
less what I lost when I dropped the pan while getting ready to take the photo.

Still not bad and I was able to find both nuggets.






I managed to sneak a photo of the wife trying out a shovel
She would kill me if she knew I posted the pic.
