A Little Panning After Work

[goldenmojo]

I got home today and started reading my favorites in TNET. After reading for a few minutes I decided that I should be shoveling instead of reading. Took my pan and shovel and some water and hit the SF American. Fortunately there was no release upstream today and I was able to get about 20' further out into the water. Scooped behind a rock and came up with a shovel full of blue clay. It was 103 on the way out there but on the river there was a cool breeze. Had an enjoyable time.

The blue clay hole is starting to play out. Very little heavy debris and small at that. Gold far and few.

Hhmmmm interesting sad to hear that it's not producing as much as it did. Is it worth it to go further? Atleast you still left with some gold Keep us posted.

Well damnit...

Exactly. The hole was a crevice and 2 small boil holes in bedrock and filled with blue and rusty clay. Plan B is to roll a one tonner over and see what exists under that without drawing undue attention to the op. Pics to follow if successful.

Hope it pays out for you

Hey guys! I'm an east bay resident who's hooked on gold now. I go to the north fork of the American every weekend now. Would love to have some partners to go with! Safety in numbers also. I'm more into sniping, but I always end up panning if I see a spot that looks clay-y. You guys can add me on FB if you'd like, Facebook.com/travyleigh.

Hope to pan with you folks sometime!
