I FOUND SOMETHING YESTERDAY AT "WALMART" IN THE PET DEPARTMENT THAT CAUGHT MY EYE.
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO BED MY EXPERAMENTAL HAND POWERED SUCTION/DREDGE.
VERY SMALL TOOL WITH LIMITED USEFULLNESS, BUT WITH THE CORRECT BEDDING I THINK IT WILL TRAP
SOME GOLD. ANYWAY, THE PRODUCT IS A MAT FOR CLEANING THE KITTY LITTER FROM THE FEET OF A CAT.
THERE WERE TWO DIFFERENT BRANDS AT THE STORE AND I USED THE ONE THAT SUITED MY NEEDS.
OTHERS MAY LIKE THE OTHER BRAND.
I WAS TESTING THE SYSTEM THIS MORNING AND WITH THE RAIN THAT WE HAD LAST WEEK, ALL OF
MY LOCAL CREEKS UP AND RUNNING FAST. I FOUND A SPOT TO TRY IT OUT AND THE WATER WAS RUNNING SO FAST THAT I HARDLY GOT STARTED BEFORE I WAS NEARLY SWEPT DOWNSTREAM, SO I PULLED THE TOOL OUT
AND SET IT ON THE BANK. I HEARD SOME ONE ASK WHAT I WAS DOING AND I BARKED OUT "FAILING ON AN
EXPERAMENT." I TURNED AROUND AND SAW A BIG GOLD...... BADGE ON THE PARK RANGER. HE RESPONDED
"YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T KEEP ANY THING IN THAT..... DON'T YOU?" I REMINDED HIM THAT I SAID ..FAILING.
WE HAD A SHORT CHAT AND HE TURNED OUT TO BE AN OK GUY. HE REMEMBERED ME FROM TWO YEARS EARLIER
WHEN I SET UP A GPAA OUTING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CREEK. HE HAD OKed THAT OUTING.
CLEAN UP PROVED THAT WHAT LITTLE TIME I HAD BEEN IN THE WATER WAS SOMEWHAT WORTHWHILE. NO GOLD,
BUT SMALL CHIPS OF STONE WERE TRAPPED IN THE MAT.
ABOUT $4 FOR JUST UNDER 2 SQ FT.
NOT A BAD DEAL.
LIKE EVERYONE SAYS.... THE RIGHT CARPET IS HARD TO GET IN SMALL SIZES.
