Got a call Friday from my friend from camp said he was headed north Sunday and asked if I wanted to go. That's a no brainer so off we go to the Wild Am. We went to a different spot that we scoped out earlier this season. When we got there we started to look around for a place to set our sluices not a lot of current. After about 45mins. We finally got them running. In the process of looking we were finding massive streaks of garnets on top of the ground. Did a couple of sample pans got some pieces in each pan not bad. We ran for about 5 hrs. I did like 6 buckets my friend about the same. The stuff was so heavy you spread out a scoupe of dirt and it would just lay there and slowly move at the end it was just a line of black sands and garnets. Every now and then you could see some bigger pieces of gold in the final line of black. talk about garnets the box and tailings for about 6' solid red really amazing the amount of them. For the time we were there we did pretty good.] DSCF0276.JPG

Not bad for a day trip! It's around 2 hrs. one way. I wish you could see this spot you wouldn't believe it. It's a big flat spot below a drop in the river around 200yrds' long and the current is on the other side of the river. Luckily the gold is on the right side the one we can dig on! The ground is literally just red with garnets.

N.H I would never move into your spot. Ive found the same thing a lot of garnets.And the bigger the better. Usually a decent amount of gold. Any body else up there.

There's been one guy still dredging from NY. other than that no one. The water wasn't even that cold, surprisingly low as well. I'm not worried about you Tripp! There's room for every one!

I know the feeling threw my back out yesterday! Had to go see the bone cracker this morning. It would have been a perfect weekend for a trip. The water should be real low and warm. Next week could be the opposite. But welcome to NH.
