WOW!! you've got ounces in that pan! Was all that from working old tailings and how did you work it? Just curious and I think I see some mercury?
Super Duper Gold :-)
Thanks for sharing

Sorry been out of town, pump water from a vertical shaft up 100 ft up the hill to a box and run. The silver you see is some silvery pyrite that is pocketed into the ore, millions of tiny crystals. No weight, but maybe a quarter ounce, a small pan makes it look a lot bigger than it really is. But the time with my son was priceless. Hurthawk says if you weigh it, it makes it too much like a job. Will do at some point as it will be Ebayed. Its the hunt I enjoy,my sons school just like the tuition money:laughing7:

Thanks for a very inspiring description of what you do. The Gold looks great no matter what the weight and the best part is being able to enjoy the experiences with your son. No amount of value is worth that. Thanks for sharing.

On of the these days, I will learn to snipe bedrock like you and your crew and get a real pan... Good health and good hunting.
