Was an excellent spring outing on CC yesterday with some fine CP members! What a great way to start the season.
![]() I still have a lot of images to process and will be out with the twin dudes prospecting for a bit today so it may be a day or two before I can get mine up. Post pics here if you all took any at the CP outing. ![]() -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Photo's I didn't take, Jess and Mike S. .....why wouldn't I do that you ask, cause I wanted to get people working, when I went out to take pics they're both on a break, stretch the 'ol backaroo. Majority of my time was spent helping Swizz, hopefully somebody else caught em on camera. -------------------- - You Rock! (Literally)

I shoulda spoke up, rather than keep to myself (as I usually do, figured one of ya's would'a thought bout that) I was thinking of doing a group pic prior to getting in the riv, oh well.
Till next time, great turn out, sweet to meetcha'all. Colin -------------------- - You Rock! (Literally)

That's a biggun!
![]() I'm gonna try and get one about the size of Crusty's with stubby legs so I can put charcoal under and on top. It'll be like a crock pot stewing all day while I'm doing miner guy stuff. I'm gonna figure out how to make a blueberry pie like Scratch did too, that was a killer treat. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

They had an entire isle dedicated to cast iron stoves for a lot cheaper than big box. If you're in town check em out.
Edit: okay so it was only like half an isle. |

Nice stuff!
Up at Chris's I find a bunch of stuff I wish was diamond! There are a lot of very clear what I can only assume is quartz. Best test I researched and found was telling (but painful!) is to heat them in hot water or with a flame. If they don't get hot, they're diamonds. Not a test you want to do a lot of times ;) -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558

Great pics guys! The few I took really aren't worth posting, just creeper shots through the trees!
![]() I got a few decent for Clear Creek flakes, some micron gold...and three bits of mercury amalgamated gold. ![]() On that note James and Cyndi were working the same area that I was, so check your cons to see if you got any as well. -------------------- Life goes by so fast/You only wanna do what you think is right/Close your eyes and it's past/Story of my life - Mike Ness

I did a cleanup from our outing. CC was a cruel mistress to me again but it was my own fault... ran that highbanker way too fast for that crick. Still managed to catch some though and any Gold is purty Gold! I think that Mike & Dave did much better with their more meticulous methods of sampling.

That's a nice haul Chris! Much better than my couple micro flakes and what I believe was on of the mercury contaminated ones? It was grayish; I smashed it with the end of the little paint brush I was using to pick up the other flakes and it flattened out like gold.

ooohhh man, looks like yer buyin dinner too! What a fantastic way to wind down the season. ![]() Safe to say I'm looking forward to the next CP CC outing this spring. Gonna have to pick up a nozzle for the highbanker this winter. Dredging is the way to go!! Working side by side with Josh, who was shoveling and classifying in to his sluice, I worked half as long to open up the same sized hole. The next day, I jumped in his hole and doubled, if not tripled it in size. The only thing I'm pondering is if the volume of water is blowing out bigger gold. Josh got a picker out of his hole, but in 2 days I didn't get anything bigger than 30 mesh. Will definitely make another trip soon when the weather is decent and set up my Angus to see if it picks up anything the GH is pushing through. -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558

Was awesome to hang out with you and Josh a couple of days ago at CC and find some color.
![]() I think I only worked for about 4hrs and tucked tail when the sun ducked behind the mtn. That is definitely a productive spot. This is my cleanup. I hand-fed my mini Angus approx 10gal of 1/2" classified. That's a good lil pile for only 10 gal of material through a hand sluice. ![]() ![]() -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Unfortunately my pump finally crapped out, so I didn't get to dredge your spot... which sucks, because I broke through the cobble and hit an awesome sandy later that the dredge would have laid waste to in minutes, not the hours I dug in it lol I ran out of daylight yesterday, so I didn't do the 100- in the blue bowl. Got one 30 flake. Still need to process my Sunday dredge cons Need to get my pump squared away, because I'll definitely be headed back up soon! I'm hooked on this spot! -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558

Yes, they got the lift and I had a panic of a day finishing yesterday. They are supposed to get me a lift for one more day down there plus I have another day of ground work coming up. Weather will dictate the schedule for that.
