My last trip panned out nicely! The model 5 fluid bed highbanker finally worked. Ran a yard. Bagged a little over a gram.

Got surprized by a chunky monkey on the miller table! That chunk would catch on window screen! So any preclassifying needs to be done running 1/4" first before window screen, and pan the window screen material. Did see a couple of +/-30 in the mix too.

Nice to know there's gold bigger than flypoop on the beaches up there!

Let's not forget
- film crew
- producer
- producers assistant
- caterers
- publicity people
- representative from history channel
- the assistant who'll post on TNet that they're looking for actors to round out the digging crew
- The snake rangler to add drama
- numerous historians to present theories on where the gold came from
Lest we forget - Scott Wolter to claim one of the pieces of gold has a hooked X so the recovered gold must've been left by the Templars, and the strand of gold was in a solar alignment.....
