While prospecting not many days go by that I don't encounter someone that asks "Are You Finding Anything". Since this forum covers a wide territory I was wondering if anyone had a standard phrase they use in those situations. Mine is simply "Specks".

"Not much, i may need to move spots soon here..."

Nope but I got the pan for $1 at a garage sale so I thought I would give it a try. That Black box over there is just a beer cooler. You need to shovel rocks in the keep the beer from floating away.

"Oh, just a little here and there..." At Salmon Falls area, the amount of rafters coming by asking the same question has led me to pack up just about 1pm.... At least 50 times the question is asked... Annoying.

Rafting guide "off to your left is a modern day prospector, 3/4 of the gold still remains even after the rush". Are you getting any? I just give 2 big thumbs up and smile. Leave a good impression on the city folk!

If I see someone and they see me, they ask, every time.
