Made it out today. Have to say these are the only pair of thigh high boots I've ever worn, and I kinda like them. River digging was kinda a bust. Decided that since it rained yesterday I would try digging the river gravel bed behind a submerged rock. Couple of fly poop specks. Went back to my usual spot which is kinda a community dig/hole and got what was in the pan in about 2 buckets. Wish I hadn't wasted so much time in the river, but thought I would try something new. Probably just can't get down deep enough with a shovel, and since I can't dredge...

But I enjoyed it. Was about 48/50 degrees out and my feet stayed dry and toasty. Nice and hot while working, but boy did it get chilly if you stood around. Good motivation to keep on moving. Not bad for 2 hours at the river. Looking forward to going back, forgot how much fun this is. Put my friend to work feeding the bazooka while I filled the buckets in the hole. Was pretty efficient since by the time I filled a bucket she was done feeding. 10/10 would team up again.

As promised. First piece that makes a clink in my pan. Makes me want to go back for more. Too bad I have to be responsible for a bit. Gold needs to pay more I need that little pan to cover a weeks wages lol!
