Anyone?

Bueller?

AMP_kbell has not posted since Oct. and that thread is not included in his historical post record that I can tell. Maybe it was deleted by admin when they were having the argument about advertising?

I reached out directly and asked him. He has been too tied up launching his product via the GPAA to focus here. He didn't pay his sponsor fee here on tnet so they took down his dedicated threads/forum.

Frankly, I've been careful to be respectful, but his product is not something I'd encourage others to buy, so he's better off trying to sell it to the newbies and hayseeds that make up the GPAA these days.

I thought something like that might have happened. Too bad that all the other material in the threads went with it.

I agree. Too bad. I worked hard on some of those posts...

Hey, wanna dig tomorrow?

Thanks for asking; I would love to do that but I should have made plans sooner. We have a family thing planned after church tomorrow and with the short days, there just isn't much time. I would love to get out into the creek--first outing of the year. Let me see how much time I might really have. Maybe I could work it in.... Get back to you about noon tomorrow.

PM sent. Just realized how badly I was hijacking this thread. Sorry Gilded!

Lol! Ok everyone involved send me a gram. No worries I was just trying to figure out what we were looking for.

Mr Gilded and I just got back from playing around in the yard with the GMT. We are still figuring it out as ground balancing can be a pain to dial in. Here's are finds.

 

[GoldpannerDave]

Had some gold I wanted to weigh out; 8.514 grams

Let me know how you like it!

Here is a shot of how much I like it!

Haven't been able to get out in way too long. Stopped at a creek in one of our parks on our way home. Someone had been poking around so we decided to whip out ye old pan and see if they found anything.

Interesting layers in the banks.




Not a speck of goodies in the couple test pans we did. Oh well, didn't have time to stay around anyway.

Yeah, methinks I will purchase one of those. Does it come with the cornflakes?

 

[The Gilded Lens]

Went out to the river today. Haven't seen it this high in years.
Tried our luck at high point prospecting and settled down on a large crack in the bedrock and meandered around on that.
Didn't get any great gold, but got some good gold... Just wish there was more to be had.








My snifter


Mr. Gilded's snifter.

We also have a bunch of cons we threw in a giant peanut butter jar to deal with later. Prob super fines.

Those lil pickers sure would make my day here in Colorado...so would the flowers, especially right now as I'm ready for summer!

Congrats on the "good" gold during high water season

Come on down to the diggins and fill up yer poke. We'd share our spot with you.

Yeah, we really wanted to run Zooka, but she would've ended up in the Pacific with the flow! The kayaker crazies were out loving it though!

My little spot. Was a large crack in the bedrock I just helped it out some.

Thanks for the offer...that day will come!!

 

[The Gilded Lens]

Woah it's been a long time!

Mr. Gilded and I went out to one of our spots yesterday and had some good times. Waited until the late afternoon when it started to cool some. I think the high was 104F. Gag.

Took Zooka out with us and our super sluices we mostly used as testers and "pay dirt transport" devices. Parked under a nice set of giant suspended boulders. It looked like someone might have test panned there so I figured heck why not see if they missed anything! Glad I did because the first pan had this little bitty nuggie/picker.




I'm both excited and ashamed to say it's the biggest piece I've found thus far.


This is all of the chunkier pieces from the day. The rest of it is micro and flour that just got dumped into the giant jiffy jar.

 

[The Gilded Lens]

Here's Zooka doing her thing. Didn't have the best flow, but she did just fine regardless.

Found my first picker last year. It weighed .045 so no...nothing seen to be ashamed of here.
