9th November - Sihl #1 Normally I go to a creek an hours drive away... today I thought I’d try my local river... 10 minutes drive away... 30 minutes of sluicinng revealed its worth pursuing! Am so happy... an evening of sluicing is a real opportunity now... very happy

1st November - Coin Bank Somewhere totally new... totally apprehensive... and it rained... persistence really does pay off though 🙂 A late start to the season and now trying to pack the trips in before the snow comes.... Ive named it coin bank because a coin turned up in the sluice!

Upper Dam Falls First gold trip for 7 months! God it felt good 🙂

Not Bountiful Tried somewhere new today.. always good to test other areas... you can tell by the name above it wasnt the best :/

Granite Post Falls First day of 2020 back at the stream... Well happy with the result. A nice bit of self isolation. Stay safe everyone.

Thanks all for the brilliant posts... Goldwasher a star as ever offering to post a sluice! I will follow up and post back on progress...

Happy New Year all! Im thinking of making a trip to Montana in May-June to get a bit of gold.... Does anuone have any tips? I will be travelling from Europe so would look to rent a sluice if thays even allowed? or possible? Any thoughts would be great...

Processing Happy New Year all... Bought a small sluice for fines and am working through all my old heavies from previous trips.... very satisfying. I’m lucky enough to have a small creek outside my house.

Upper Dam Falls Back to it today in a spot I havnt been to for a while. Big floods recently so it was all churned and changed. Good day even with a dark morning start!

Hi all, I will be over from Europe at a conference in Vegas early December. Can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere to do a bit of panning / sluicing in Arizona? Somewhere near Jerome maybe? Any members or clubs who would be happy to help an Englishman find his first Arizona...

What with one thing and another I haven’t been out for months! Beginning to feel the fever growing for 2019 though.... Big Nuggets here I come.... oh yeh!

Granite Post Falls Back to GPF after a long summer break. The last clean up as all the gold dried up every which way I sampled. Ok gold but time to move on to a new site. Trouble is i’m not sure where!

Granite Post Falls Back in Switzerland and one of those days where everything just clicks and is perfect... rounded off by a steady stream of good gold. (Just the bigger bits in the picture... plenty of fines to work through at the end of the season.) All finished off with a lovely swim.

I worked very hard for that gold... enjoyed it though. Altitude and sun were both very intense.

Fairplay Colorado Managed to get a couple of days in Fairplay (thanks to the advice of Kevin in Colorado). Had a great day today. Pretty bushwhacked now though given the jetlag!

Triple Confusion First real day back in the saddle after my dodgy knee... new spot, really remote. I called it triple confusion becuase I just couldn’t work out where the gold was to begin with! Had to move the big boulder you can see in the photos.. verrrry heavy... I was imagining ending up...
