Thanks for the kind words Shofs. That would be awesome if you came out to California. Might be time to pay the family a "visit"...and then straight bail for the gold fields on them haha. Glad your enjoying the journal.@mytimetoshine I've been loving your thread! Keep it up man. Not to mention you're really pulling in a lot of gold as a recreational prospector. You've got some skill and I can tell you know how to read your area well. I wish I could get out there and do some digging with ya! Most of my family lives in Sacramento so maybe one day I'll be around the area

Mike that's not an ordinary tarnished penny. It's a Copper(Bronze) Cent. Not to be confused with the worthless Zinc ones they make now.Erik, didn't you know there is an unwritten rule that miners always use a dime for those size comparison shots? Besides, who carries tarnished pennies anymore?
Now that I'm back in the groove, I have some catching up to do I see. Nice gold Buddy.
I haven't gotten out for 2 weeks. I'm going crazy! Today was the last day I have my daughter for summer break. Now it's just back to every other weekend. I should be getting out more often now weather permitting.
During the break I have been slowly working these black sands one teaspoon at a time. It took HOURS!... I ended up recovering .14 out of it. So I orginally got 1.10g out of the sands on my laminate table. Obviously it needs tweaking, the loss rate ended up being 13% off the table. I'll get that dialed in a bit better. Still more efficient than trying to clean each pan at the river...
I saw this little copper pan on Ebay and had to have it. Gold doesn't show well on copper though..
