Season 1

[Wampus]

The creeks and rivers have finally froze over so I guess that's it for my 1st year. Thought I'd post a pic of my total for the year. Not a lot, but I'm happy. Only about 4 months till ice out! Good luck to all.http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/asset.php?fid=729987&uid=70838&d=1385252325

Those are some nice chunks. Why no/little fines?

 

[Wampus]

They're in there, just not a real good pic. Found all the course stuff right before it started freezin' up. Can't wait till spring!

wow - who woulda thunk ? Iowa of all places. I don't know what the unemployment rate is in your state, but bet you could start a mini-rush if you were interviewed by local tv station. Best wishes after the thaw !!

Spent all summer finding fly poop(250 to 300 specs) and half a dozen little pickers, then when I got busy with harvest in october, I found a good bedrock crack. Don't know if I can make it through winter. Gonna' drive the wife crazy!

Well look at it this way... At least ya know where it's hiding now! That's half the battle right there.

 

[Wampus]

Ya got a point.

 

[russau]

I am still in my first year and found a total of two places so far that always produce flakes at the mouth. Next year (around this time as water levels waay down) I will be going up as far as I can to find the source. Good gold you got there! To next season!

 

[Wampus]

Good luck to ya. Hope ya find the source!
