Only thing wrong with those pictures.... No sluice set up in the flow!
Too bad your written words don't indicate your dialect like a spoken word would. Me thinks you're a former East Coaster due to the references to 'Brooks'.
Former East Coaster myself and had to add the word 'crick' to my vocabulary years ago.
That little creek or "crick" is something I have wanted on a piece of my property ever since I was a young child. The fact you can find any gold in it? Priceless!
We do have one creek that is next door to us, private property and easy to access & work...which I have yet to explore. Thanks for the reminder to look in my own backyard.
Well, I don't have much to say for myself unfortunately. Itching to go prospecting either tomorrow or Tuesday, but don't know where I want to go.
We are back in the mountains where we belong after a week-long stint in SoCal with the hubby's family.
Have to admit that I was eyeballing the black sand on the beach and wondering how much gold might be hiding in there. Settled for photos instead as I didn't fly my pan down with me.
Went to Knot's Berry Farm for the first time in my life. The mineral shop there was a bigger attraction for me than all of the roller coasters. Had some nice pickers in there but wasn't about to pay for them when I can find them in my county. Really wanted a geode but the guy decided to take his lunch break and totally shun me. I'll stick to Disneyland methinks.
I used to live about 4 block north of DizzyLand but we always went to Knotts instead. DizzyLands prices have gotten so outrageous it isn't funny. A normal family pretty much has to take out a second mortgage to go there now. At least Knotts Berry Farm cuts their admission in half from 4PM on. Only benefit of living close to Dizzyland was that we could watch the fireworks every night.
