A good panning/sluicing trip from the other day

Working some private property and finding nice fines.

Thanks guys, Here's my next trip back to that same spot. And if you didn't see it I also got a camping/ dredging video up in the dredging forum.

More nice shine AB ............ it adds up . Does the owner insist you stay
in the stream bed ?

No the owner doesn't care, its down in a fairly steep valley that he cant get into anyway and no one goes in there but me and lots of snakes. There is some evidence of past workings, but I think they are really old. Some old tailings stacks 20 feet from the creek which tells me the creek has moved that far since whoever worked it last. Also there's a couple bench deposits like I showed in the video, and I think one of them has pick marks in it (my pick fits almost perfectly in the indentions).

Oh and beautiful piece man, great stuff!

With freedom of movement granted by the owner I guess you can fan out
a little and have a look see .......... You know you have to do it .

Dang AB ....... I didn't know you was in a band man . I knew the dude on the drum reminded
me of somebody .
