Had a great day on the river. Cleared some cobble then just barehanded scoops to the pan to the Bazooka. It did the rest of the work.

Looks a lot more fun than how I spent my day... cleaning the garage. :BangHead: But the boss is happy so maybe that means more time on the river.

Mojo has webbed fingers that scoop gold. I noticed a few pickers fall out of his fingernails at the bbq party.

All of Folsom lake and 2 miles up river from the salmon falls bridge is suppose to be hands and pans only. The rangers sometimes check the people close to the bridge.

After scooping by hand it feels like I have sandpaper for hands. Anyone need a hand on some prep work?

Ah, got it....hate that rule! If it was imposed here, I think I'd make a customized Garret SuperSluice (cause they are such thick plastic) so it came to a shovel shape on one side ;)
