You never saw gold sitting on your Keene's assayer mat?

Seeing 20-30 little starshines on that assayer's matting is what got me hooked :)

That coin is badass by the way, all I found yesterday interesting (other than the gold natcherlly) was an unfired 9mm bullet.

After reading all of the reviews on TN about these things I came to the conclusion that I must get one. I chase a lot of finer gold and classifying kills me, it just takes to much time. Water flow is never an issue but size can be for a few locations I go. I believe that the prospector 36" should fit my needs well. Now the question to all you bazooka users/ fans, regular weight or heavy? I am not to concerned with weight but it seems the heavy would be a little tougher. Is that true? Now for grizzly size regular or large? I can see where if by chance you were on a hole that had the chance to show some 1/4" nuggets the large would be your best options. But if I most likely won't be in area with that kind of gold would the larger grizzly end up taking of to much material filling the box? Any thoughts and suggestions would be great, thanks.

Hey sorry to De-Rail your thread, I just realized! Did you get your BGT yet?

I use the mobile app every day, much superior to the traditional web site in most ways I think. I did turn off the gps tagging of photos on my phone tho...keeping my hot spots to myself ;-)
