Congrats on the gold! That is much more gold than I found panning. Also took several buckets home and panned through the winter months, it was fun but I found nothing. HH, Mike
 

We got out for the first time on Saturday... Hit a good spot and got this in 1 1/2 hours.

Actually I've got a 21y old and a 18y old doing the digging. Keep us posted on how you're doing.

Nice Picker Tinpan.

You could see those 2 huge nuggets better if those giant alien hands weren't in the picture! :o Monty
 

Way to go Mate! Reminds me of my time in Arizona on leave from the Marines..Down on the creek with a bunch of retired guys getting the powder with a small paint brush and small bottle of water...It was really small,but very pure! Hope to see more..
 

I would love to do some panning,dredging,etc. and before I leave this place I will.Actually the "Gold Fever" show was panning in some tributarie's to the Potomac River near D.C. and found some flake's with a couple picker's.It's not too far down the road.Congrat's and HH!!
 

Way to go!! Sound like something really fun to do.....I'll have to try that sometime! ;D

Happy Hunting,
Moon
