I went out twice during my limited home time and got onto a pretty good paystreak. Just running a simple drop riffle sluice and digging into a bucket, classifying down to 3/8". Got about a gram on 1st day, appx half gram the 2nd day. 1st day ran a total of only 8 half full buckets of classified. 2nd day it pinched out towards the end. Ran 16 half fulls for the half gram. System keeps crashing when I try to attach pix

I deliver brand new semi trucks piggyback style so I only get home a few days a month. But I go after that gold every time! Kevin, I know Colorado has a ton of probs right now, but I can't help but wonder how much gold washed down out of the hillsides with those slides and flooding!!

Love this Particular Forum, cherishes family, friends and fun. Here in Washington, most of our gold is small, but a few good runs will find a little of the yellow!! IMG_2930.JPG IMG_3053.JPG
First is a little bit of Raging River fines, the second is my 13 year old son, running my brawn 48" sluice.

Cheers All!!

So this is our finds for the season. Yes the season. We are done for the year. We have too much stuff going on to be able to continue but I have a trommel build planned for this winter.

Nice haul! Must've been dredging I assume. I'll be doing alot of that next year! Wa state is hyper restrictive on dredging seasons, so I basically get the month of July on my favorite place.

Nope. All shovel and buckets through the highbanker and a little booming. Thanks! Idaho is getting the same. The EPA moved in and restricted the hell out of us. If you hear of them floating and polluting the waters here you'll know why lol

I want a high banker but I don't know if there is enough gold in my area to take the risk
