The Ice Has Broken On The River

[John-Edmonton]

Headed down to the local river after work today. I did get in about 1 1/2 hours of digging. The gravel was till frozen in places below a couple of inches. I did dig up a lot of shallow roots on the higher water mark, and the gold was very fine from washing the roots. But, even a little gold is better then no gold. I am always amazed at how well a drop riffle system, when set up right manages to capture and retain even the tiniest flakes of flour gold.
