2014 is about gone... let's hear about your 2015 goals in the field

I'll start it off....

I have 4 goals but will settle with any single one of them completed........

1. Find enough gold in one day to register on a scale.

2. Build my 2" infinity jet dredge.

3. Blow the dust off my White's spectrum detector and get back into the hunt.

4. Post 1 awesome video of an adventure with finds that are above the ordinary.


Who's Next ??? ?

Hey Machinist, have you tried the E. fork of the Lewis.
Let me know how you do if you go. I've been wanting to check it out myself, but it's a few hrs drive from my area.
East Fork of the Lewis River - Washington Gold

Hi Mike, no I have not tried the east branch yet. I did some panning right off the Lewis on a little tributary stream but no luck. I plan to check out the east branch when some good weather returns so I will let you know how I did.

Ok, I have a few...after paying off the Dahlke 4" micro dredge I'm buying.


1. First picker...tough one in washington, but gonna find one none the less!

2. Have a day that shows more colors than I have ever had in a sluice clean out before.

3. I have been trying to get up to 8 grams for 2 years now. I would love to get way more than that, but I've not even passed the 2 gram marker in 2 years at this point...I want to make my wife a ring of my gold.

4. Go to the coast and watch the Gold Cube destroy the beach sand, and come home with some pretty golden sugars!!
