A cold day, but we wanted to get out and hit a few spots on the creek. Trying to find the gold line. We found decent gold for the 2 hours we was out. Hope ya enjoy the video..

Good job getting out today. I farted around to long this morning and didn't get out in time to go sluice (was going to try to go with a coworkers to his property in Troutman). Just didn't feel like being in the rain as I'm just getting over a cold if the temp was like yesterdays then I'd have gone. I have to get my highbanker/dredge combo done as his little creek needs a little more water at times to make my 30" BGT Prospector work. Hopefully I'll get out to URE next weekend.

Ya try to get a smaller one? I usually go to small creeks right after it rains, because ya can't ever get any equipment in there, except after a good rain.

Yes I also have a BGT Supermini but you have to classify with that one. I went over to his place on the way home form work on Thursday (ran about 40mins), found a couple of fly poops. The biggest problem I had there, is there is no big rocks to help form a dam (the creek bed is full of sand & small rocks, fist size & smaller). I'm think I'm going to cut a few pieces of sheet aluminum (since I have some here) or find some plastic sheet to form the dam. Thinking I'd fashion a loop on one end for a spike to hold in place and lay the other in front of the other. Thinking cut 6 pieces of 1'x2' and using 1/4" dowel rod cut to 18", will have to give it move thought as I could fit these in my backbpack with my other junk I take with me.
