Concrete, WA
Detector(s) used
Nokta FoRs Gold, a Gold Cube, 2 Keene Sluices and Lord only knows how many pans....not to mention a load of other gear my wife still doesn't know about!
Primary Interest:
Prospecting
Nice little micro-picker!

Not many that size in the creeks and rivers up in my neck of the woods,
but there is quite a bit of float/flood gold to be found. Unfortunately, it takes
a whole lot of flood gold to amount to much as it's typically about as thick
as gold leaf.

thanks. with a lil more practice ill have a handfull hopefully. i didnt even get as deep in the hole as i wanted. there is a big rock in front of a bigger rock and i couldnt get it out to go down farther. tomorrow im gonna buy me a 70" tempered head spud bar so i can pry the big/stuck rocks out of the way, then im gonna go move that rock and try again.
