Thars Gold In The Pan! Thanks Hangtowndiggins!

Met up again with Hangtowndiggins at the creek. Ran the Bazooka sluice shoveling mad over armpit deep. Scratched out 0.25 grams of color. Proved my 0.43 grams was beginners luck! Saw Medic7 a fellow member chucking cobbles. Great day good fun and gold too! Thanks buddy!

Hey your welcome anytime AU. Glad we got to get back out and glad you got some decent gold. Nice pics! Yeah you looked soaked when last saw you at the end of the day, that snow melt is damn cold! Was great to meet member medic7, heck of a nice guy. Well happy I dug where the voices told me, got down to bed rock after a few hours just happened to land on a big crack that produced. Failed to take pictures at the creek but went home with a new thick lil picker, a couple mini pickers and some decent smaller stuff! Was a great day always cool to get out with fellow members

If you got that much gold shoveling from underwater, there is probably a bit more in the hole.

Hey AU/HT, definitely liked all you shared but a question. In the third pic on the right...is that a man made retention pond? I run into them myself when exploring. Always wonder just what is on the very bottom of it.

Hi Jeff! I built 3 dams to get the flow correct. One to block an extra channel, one as curb and another upstream to protect the dig site.

Yet another place that's loaded with "Gold Diggers"!!! Just not my type though. I prefer mine to know the business end of a shovel and how to pan!

Thanks fellas, hammered down had a decent day can't ask for much more. AU I didn't walk up there but from the pics looks like you put in some work to get the bazooka dialed. At least next trip less set up and more time diggin thanks again for meeting up will have to hit it again soon!
