Nooo....can i be the only keene in the bunch?
start running, you can still catch up! (Place your order today for a sluice that weighs half as much and has more consistent gold retention...a Bazooka!)

How far back into clear creek have you driven? I live around the corner from there. It appears to be a long road looking at google earth.

P70.. I imagine Clear creek wasn't quite so clear while you were out with your 48" prospector...:thumbsup:
Thanks Campngolf, it might just be impossible but we'll sure try.
Thanks 425jesse,happy to have you on the invite/guest list..
Lol thanks Mojo, lots of character for ones imagination, wouldn't be hard to name em all!
b.jmining530... Near Placerville, I think it would be fun too..
TheGoldProspector.. Exactly what Kevin said.. Plus, get a bazooka and get more gold!
Awesome pan shots AU, Thanks! love that black stuff!:occasion14:

Also set up the bgt super mini on top of the miner to run a sample.. Worked great and was super convenient..

Thanks fellas, Haven't tried it for myself yet but sized it up and looks like the mini/super mini models will work great piggyback style on any of the prospector models for sampling too!
Bjm530.. Shooting for a Saturday later next month. Your mining buddy is welcome to join us and ill let you know a week or two in advance by PM...
Heres a short clip of the Miner in the creek last Saturday... Next time we'll try to hammer some material down it on video..

Htd, in between runs of dumping buckets of material onto the beast it you be used as a redneck back-country slip-n-slide.

(can you pm we with the fest details when available?)

Ok thanks! I will let my buddy know !!! I am really new to this and trying to learn something new every time I go out prospecting. So going out with a bunch of people would help me out a lot with learning how to locate areas that would be better then others and things like that

Campngolf... I haven't thought about that particular redneck activity with the miner yet.. Not sure how getting over the grizzlies would feel and work but your welcome and encouraged to try it out:) pm with details will gladly be sent to you (when available) also..

No prob bjm530 sounds good.. I'm only a year and months in but would be happy to share a spot and pass along some of what I know.

Hi everyone. Been way too busy the last few months. Long story short we are trying to come up with a way to buy the house we have been renting for 11 years since the owner past away a few months ago. Trying to come up with the down payment and putting all the paperwork together for the bank. Anyway, my 36" BGT and I are in desperate need of a dip in a river or creek. Hope I can join some of you soon if it is still ok.

Hope so too. Was beginning to wonder where you'd been. Good luck on the house and hope your signing the stack of papers soon. Maybe we can hook up with looking4goaled if you want to get out sometime.
