Well, couldn't find that rock with all the gold under it :), had a fantastic Sat down at Bear though. Only had about 2 hours of sluicing due to the little one's "work ethic" being inordinately strained lol. But what great weather and just overall good trip!

Glad you had a great day. The Bear seams to be real good spot to take the kids. Like your pics. Did you find a little color?

Looks like you had a great day with the son. If you can instill in him the proper miner work ethic you'll have a second retirement in store.....Great Gold Catch!

I was super impressed with the gold we got from there.. not necessarily the quantity, but the size that the BGT was picking up. I would say that had some of the gold been any finer, I would have needed to bust out a magnifying glass to see it. No surprise on the fine gold from Bear, but re-confirmed that the BGT is a hell of a purchase!

Steve- the pic of what we pulled is above.

We left at 1230 or so... Mostly downstream from the parking area, around then bend on the other side or the river... If you saw a guy carrying his kid through the river, that was us lol
