super mini/propector combo

[KevinInColorado]

ya know i was just thinking with this BGT you could shovel into it in the dark... well with a flashlight propped up and the moon light, just think the amount of of material just doubled!

quite true! Unfortunately most if not all of the open space authorities restrict park access to daylight hours

Looks great. I just ordered the Mini/Prospector combo last night after seeing both in action the other week compared to the A52 clone I have. Hope they'll make it before I leave for the in-laws next weekend, just hope their creeks aren't frozen over (mid-Mich) as I haven't prospected there before.

You're a smart man DynoGuy!

Cool, you're gonna love em! My family are all in Mi so I'm always looking for tips on where to dip a pan when I visit. My brother and sister are west suburbs of Detroit and my folks are up in Cheboygan. Any tips for me?

Hey Kevin, I'll be up in Rose city which is near West Branch. Like I said earlier I haven't tried prospecting there, only a few pans up in the U.P. this last summer with no luck, but I'll report back when I get back. I have talked to a friend who lives in the U.P. and said he has found some color a few times.

 

[KevinInColorado]

I hope you have good luck Mike! I do know that area a little...the Wendy's at exit 212 is a must stop since I was a kid!

i got out today for a couple hours right in the middle of town(denver) i was on the south platte, 2pans to pan out and here they are. i think i might love my BGT more than my wife!

 

[KevinInColorado]

Hey Tweetabear, good job getting out for our last warm day for a while. Where were you on the S Platte? Reply or PM if shy, I have a few sweet spots to point you at...

 

[tweeta_bear]

right at mississippi and platte river drive. early yesterday i seen 2 guys sluicing right there by that refinery as you heading south just before dartmouth. i stopped and said my howdy do's. i was shocked when they said that the bed rock is not even a foot deep there but anyways it was so cool to watch the material wash down and see the gold follow the lighter material into the trap... no guessing if there was gold or not, i could watch the gold!

Sooo cool, great job! I have to point out that your description tells me you are driving around town with your gear, ready to jump out at any time to get on the gold...am I right? Love it - i do the same :-)

That big plant is the old Gates Rubber factory, quite the classic Denver icon. It was still operating when I moved here in the late 80's.

Other spots where the bedrock (really hard clay, false bedrock) is shallow include just south of Evans at Grant-Frontier Park (GFP) and 8th Ave at Frog Hollow Park. I've found gold both places, give em a try when in the area. You'll often meet other prospectors at GFP.

maybe it wasnt mississippi. i was right at the base of ruby hill. and yes i carry everything with me all the time, its like american express you never leave home without it. lol ya the next spot im gonna try is 8th an i25

 

[KevinInColorado]

Sure, that's the Gates plant where I dropped the pin, right down stream from where you were...right?

Further south at Dartmouth is a whole different spot, there's a waste water treatment plant on the east side of the river there. I've never tried that spot....

 

[tweeta_bear]

nope i was at overland park at Florida st. at the waterfall right by the bridge

 

[tweeta_bear]

here is where i was.
