2cmorau was kind enough to let me work with him on his claim near Indian Valley, many thanks to 2cmorau!!! Dagreat also showed up for the fun and man was it a blast, truly a fine day on the river. Oh ya we found some gold too. 2cmorau went strait to shoveling after the 25 minute hike in, no joke this guy was serious and one hell of a hard worker!! Dagreat showed up and did the same got right on it enthusiastically. We used everything from shovels to sucker tubes and scrapers, had two sluices set up and classified material to process through em.
OK OK here's some pics of what I retrieved from my Au trap.....

Amen to that... tough job market out there! I am so ready to go. Thinking about heading out this weekend. Maybe to a GPAA claim, or if Frank is up for it, back to his claim. Will have to see.

They're more subtle than that. You probably didn't notice, but on the way in, you cross a scale. On the way back out, you're weighed again. If any weight has been added, cops pull you over and search you about a mile out of town.

:laughing9: :laughing9: :laughing9:

Looks like a very good outing.
