Thanks to our tour guide and instructor, Goldenmojo, the kids and I had a great morning gettin' the gold. Got to try my new 30" Sniper and man did it make things easy. It took everything we gave it and kept asking for more.

Now we just need to spend more time at the river to improve our skills and the vials will fill in no time. :laughing7:

Goldenmojo, it was great to meet you and thanks for taking us today. It's the first time all 3 kids and I have spent having fun together in awhile, them being teenagers and all.

Here's the goods:

It was great to meet you and your fantastic kids. They were real troopers and worked together as a well oiled machine getting the dirt into the sluice. You and the brood are welcome anytime. I stayed until the water level rose up. Here is what I ended up with....

Nice looking pan Mojo.

Did that kayaker/prospector make if up river to you? At first I thought that was a weird way to get to pay dirt, but after the trek back (and the sore muscles) I'm rethinking things. Kayaking up and back would be a lot easier and quicker.

I moved upstream after you guys left and the Kayak guy got stopped at the angry stretch. He finally settled on the far side of the river and was packing up as I was heading out.

Aufisher Before and after water rise. Less than 4 minutes to completely cover the area
