Can you post any still pictures? I can't view videos. My Grandparents are buried in Bern. I'd love to see your area.

Nice day, what area are you in. We have a little plot near Brusio, not the best place and permits do not open until the end of the month. My wife got the land left to her by her grandfather about 15 years ago and she was just going to sell it until we checked a bach in the area. Almost spent Christmas there this year but we ended up going to Austria because of the very warm winter, and Einach Bach puts out pretty good, so we spent Christmas day in the bach there. But we will end up in Brusio again this year, just ours is much more fine than what you are getting. You ever get any really good pickers or even nuggets?

2nd time I've clicked on this - I, too, cannot view videos. Have a very limited data cap. :crybaby2:

I started to ask why in the world would you go to Switzerland and pan? It is a gorgeous country and you'd pass up St. Moritz for freezing in a montain stream? Then I saw YOU were Swiss and I understood. Great job...

Wow, I love your video. Made the comments above before I watched it. One of the finest videos I have ever seen and obviously more than panning. You found enough gold there for a week in San Moritz, and a tour of Zurich and Geneva with meals included. Congratulations gold miners...

Now if you could only get a dredge in there to do some serious work! Nothing to big....maybe a 6 or a 8 incher to start!:)

Yeah, if only.

Hi could some of the experts please identify this rock, and is it possible that it could contain gold ? 20160515_163921-1.jpg 20160515_163921-1.jpg

Nice comments? You don't get no "nice" comments, you jerk! DANG!! Those are some purdy pics!! I hate you! :laughing9:

Seriously, looks like a very beautiful area. I really am envious! ...Never really had much inclination to visit Switzerland, as it was always a popular place to go in the old movies - lots of tourists and all. Ok, now I wanna go! :laughing7:
