SHERRYs THREAD - My Gold Prospecting Journey

I saw you in Vegas Sherry. I bet you could get Gil to do just about anything. :laughing7:
 

Thumbs up to the bazooka gold trap!!! I thought my cal sluice was good.. Boy did I have it backwards.... I'm going to set them both up "long tom" tomorrow, gotta see if either looses gold. They probably won't lose any gold ... But I gotta try.!
 

Sounds like a good plan. A good way to test both for any loss.

This picture makes me smile. The one w gold on the finger.. Awesome
 

I think I got three or four pieces off the bedrock that day. Right after a high water event. If you magnify the picture you will see another piece in the sand up near the white thing. i don't remember picking that one up.
 

Sometimes you just gotta leave them to grow up for next season.
 

I hoping this next season the water flows and the new crop sprouts...
 

Winter prospecting benifits for men.... the beard.... Ive only been working on mine for a month but im proud enough of it to share. Sorry sherry, you should just buy one of those duck dynasty fake ones to keep warm on the river.

Ducky that's awesome, it looks great!

Yea no beard for me... My husband wouldn't allow it on me, can't say that I blame him though! ;-)

I got a free farmer john wetsuit, hood, booties and regulator setup the other day. SCORE! We may try sniping with snorkels when we go to the American River during Thanksgiving week. Hopefully I'll get the chance to snipe or dredge using a hooka one day!
 

If you are just using the beard to stay warm, maybe try the beard hat!? image-1419869736.webp :)
