T_M,
Nice color! The one picture with nuggets spread across your palm, to the right side is a very round object, is it a battery for size? Nice crevicing work but as you have a high banker pictured I would assume you were doing other types of prospecting. If you can comment - were you doing better with crevices or at other types of work? Good sized flat nuggets!

Thanks for sharing as I really miss being 'out there'....................63bkpkr

the round thing is 2 pennyweight of fine gold I melted down into a button. I do alot of different prospecting. most of the time i clear a section down to bedrock running the material through my home made highbanker or big sluice, then snipe the cracks when i finish the pay streak . Then i fill my holes back in and move to the next pay streak.
