Live in Cincinnati Ohio and made my own sluice box and rig from stuff laying around the house and our tool shed. Went down to a creek that leads into the Ohio river. I hunt arrow heads there so knew a good spot, spent a couple
Hours every morning going through material and here is my finds for a week. Haven't weighed it yet but I'm pretty happy even though it's a small amount.

I'll let you know! That be awesome. Until I find a better spot to find gold I'll stick to md'ing and native American artifact hunting, finding gold is extremely addictive though

I'm continually amazed at the decent gold you guys find east of the Mississipi! I respect your hard work and perseverance. Later if you come to known
gold areas like ca., you will do well above the average!!

That's the whole idea Fullpan. I can't wait to try the skills I've learned here in the mid west out in the western states. If I can find flour gold where people say there is no gold, then I'll do just fine out west and hopefully be VERY successful out there too. One day......

Wow 419 that's more than I think I'd get in a month haha. Hopefully next summer I can take a trip out west, for now I'll keep refining my methods where I live.
