free gold from my groups claim

[zemetrius]

in the past i have been spending money on a few bags of paydirt, just so i could see some real gold.

but this is from my groups gold claim, not much but it's 10 pieces of free gold (free being that i did not pay for it like the stuff in the paydirt bags)

but i have like 7 more bags of dirt that i brought back from the claim to go through.

so much work to find 6 more pieces, but now i have 16.

i switched to my smaller pan, seems to be easier to use than my gold claw for the itty bitty tiny stuff, smaller pan has a lot more riffles on the side than the gold claw. i don't think my gold claw was missing anything but the smaller pan is easier to use, helped to get me to 20 pieces.

got a new 14 inch pan today, guess it works:



this was with the #20 mesh screen i just got today as well, guess i got my monies worth on both items.

ok so checked all the material that was on top of the #20 mesh screen, just to make sure i was not going to lose something of value, for my troubles, i got one small piece of gold, that probably could have gone through the #20 but did not, and to my surprise, i found a flat piece of lead, i think this is the first piece of lead i have found since i starting going to the groups claim.
