Nice finds gents!
I'm going to try and get up on Saturday again if Teresa will let me :) I don't have a blue bowl, so I still have some cons to pan out at home from last weekend. I'll get to those eventually and post some pics. -------------------- Lifetime Member

I'm good for Saturday but not Sunday, hope to see you there Eric. I picked up one of those 42" DeWalt wrecking bars like you had last time.

Here's my take from last Friday. Another great day on the creek spent with club members!
12-18 mesh!
30
The whole shebang!

I'm bringing two more people with me if that's cool. One is another fellow prospector from the denver area named Travis, and the other one has never seen raw gold before so I hope for him to see some. He's Curtis.
Hes more of a disc golfer in his free time and he doesnt have the bug but he said be wants to try the gold pan and check it all out. Hes green but he'll have a great time. He's the buddy I stay with out there. Maybe those guys will help me sink a deep hole on Saturday so Sunday I can get deep gold all day hehe. Should be a good time!! -------------------- Level 2 member -12/25/16

Sounds like it'll be a good showing. As of last night, I'm in for Saturday. I'll bring my wolf sluice along as well in case someone wants to use it. Still haven't panned out my cons from last week though; seeing y'all's takes so quickly has me wanting for a faster way to clean up.
Swizz - I think we should check out where you were mentioning right before we left last week.

I should be there by around 8 but I don't think the sun kisses that part of the canyon until about 9.

I'm planning on getting there earlier than last time; it will probably be just me, so likely between 8 and 9.

We drove up to check out the area so I'd know where to go. Mile marker 260 is at tunnel six? There's a bunch of construction going on right there.
Do you guys park before the light or after the left turn? I saw a few parking spots before the traffic light and there's one after tunnel six. We can be there at 8-9, whenever is fine. Supposed to be almost 70!! Whooohoo. -------------------- Level 2 member -12/25/16

The large parking area is about 100ft downstream from the physical MM. It's paved and has a big wooden sign regarding the Open Space. See ya's in the morning!
