I was wondering whether there was enough water up there to run a dredge.... and not just a little one

Hi everyone.........
I thought it time for an update/brush up on details for the dig site. The new pay to dig site is open to the general public and you DO NOT need to be a CP club member to use the site. and again.......there will be no firearms allowed on the premises....if you travel with a firearm you need to leave it in your locked vehicle! Dogs are welcome too.....but they will be on leashes at all times. No exceptions to the fire arms and dog leash rules! Prices for different activities are on page 1 of this thread but to clarify further..... panning is per day per person. Sluicing, highbanking, and dredging is for 2 people per unit per day. Metal detecting is per person per day. Now.....for those of you who wish to maybe sluice and detect ......or highbank then pan........you will only be charged one price for the day.......the higher of the two rates for chosen activities will cover both. Hopefully this clears up a few questions but as always feel free to contact us with other questions anytime. Hope to see ya'll there this season. CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Well.....another day and another test hole tested. Gold in every pan again!!
Dan and Pattie came out to visit from Wisconsin and tried out some detecting at the dig site and learned a little bit about panning. They promised to post up some pics after some panning at home with material they took home to pan. The weather was awesome with just a bit of chilly wind......but sunny all day.

I wanted to tell everyone what a great time Patty and I had at the pay to dig site with Dan. It was one of those places that gets you just a little closer to heaven. Dan went out of his way to make us feel right at home. He spent all the time we needed to get some great panning instructions after I spent some time metal detecting. I didn't grab any gold with the detector but I picked up a nice silver ring and some coins. I couldn't dig all my targets because of the frozen ground.
We are richer without a doubt for going there; we met a great guy in a great place and ended up with some gold in the bottom of our pans. We didn't want to leave and we can't want to get back. We are still working on the concentrates to get all the gold out and will post a pick when I get it all together. Thanks CP for a fantastic time and the gold! Dan & Patty P.S. My son loves the petrified dinosaur bone guitar pick that you made, thanks Dan. |

Hi Dan & Patty,
Welcome to the forum, make yourselves right at home around the entire site. Glad you had a safe trip home and thanks. It was an awesome day with you at the digs, hopefully you can return again soon. That guitar pick is only a few million years old so far......it should last awhile. We really hope your son enjoys playing with it. Cya's soon CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Hi CP,
Sorry it took a while for me to get the pic. Some was caused by my poor abilities and some by my poor eyesight. I was amazed with time how I could work a piece or two of gold away form the balance of what was in the pan and how right when I was ready to get them out how I'd catch the water wrong and the piece of gold would float. Sometimes it seemed like they would do it on purpose. All and all I learned alot and had a great time doing it. I would love to give it another try with my sluice box next time we can hookup again. Thanks agian Dan & Patty
