Apparently so as this guy hung in for about 8 gallons of dirt run through my drywasher -- emptied the riffle tray into the bucket and there he was. New spot and I saw a few others as I was digging.

I figured it out when I got home and panned out the cons.
They were guarding the gold. Glad I released him as he can do his job until I go back.

Great story and pictures. I am sure if they could growl, that you would have clearly heard that one every time you added dirt to the drywasher. I bet he was some kind of angry.

depends upon the size ... I would guess .. while it may or may not be heavy --its nothing to play with ...
