Would like to begin this thread the right way.

*Huge Thanks to Mojo, AUFisher, KevininColorado, DuckWalk, ALewis, HangTownDiggins, JB.Mining, GoldWasher, GoodyGuy, N8 and SchoolofHardRocks*
- without each one of you, I would be further from the gold; scraping useless black sands-
One day here soon, we will All have the opportunity to cross paths and dig virgin ground together.



With that being said :) This season has brought challenges and disbelief. With getting a new sluicebox-BGT 30" Prospector- and working new waters, it has been a Real fun ride. Even with the days with seemingly endless sun pouring down on my already burnt shoulders an no shade to find, I never want to come home.


And That, my friends, is why I keep treking on.

Peace be with you All

My wife and I recently moved to a new place, so I coukdnt hit the water last weekend...I was getting antsy thinking of this upcoming Sunday.
I will give you what you desire - only if I get the same in return from you my friend. I want to see Big Gold coming from your end. You Rock and have great potential! Keep it up

"Keep on trekin":icon_thumleft:

As for me..........

I've a sickness that can't be cured
And a fever that can't be broken

I must find gold or as feared
I'll burst and I'm not joke'n

The only thing that'll fulfill my dream
and keep me from gettin' old

Is bein out there on any ol' stream
and pannin' for yeller Gold

I'll hunt and pan and sluice all year
and when the truth be told

The only cure that I'll hold dear,
is when I hit that motherlode. :occasion14:


Go for the gold,
GG~

TGP. Congrats on your new thread and promo. I will have some Weds off in August. Maybe we can go then. Was hoping to give some news about Purdon today but dry camping and the trailer lost all power. Had to deal with that. Good luck in your prospects.

Went to the north fork today. First time at Yankee Jims.
Got skunked pretty well... I scouted for quite some time

The only color I found was when I went sniping...seems to be a trend

Had the opportunity to go out with a buddy of mine today to the middle fork American. We set up the keene around 750 and began moving boulders with our bar. We moved maybe 12 buckets and got a few pickers and alot of flour. Tons and tons of black sand!!

Cant wait for the next time i can lie down within the current and fall asleep. :)
