Dredging with 3 pickers..

[ywevis]

I almost chickened out because the water was higher than last time, but Michael wanted to do some panning. So I stayed around to break open some bedrock.. After panning for a few we spotted several quartz veins going into the creek.. I got the gold grabber 4 inch dredge in the water and began to hit it.. I got 3 pickers and some pretty good gold.

Welcome and nice catch on the pickers.

I really miss dredging--nothing quite like it.

All the best,
