My first big strike! lol
It's not much, but it's the most I have ever found in one day so far. Time to invest in a sluice.

Looking good Persistence, and it must have paid off being persistent.
 Yep, time for a sluice and best of luck with the prospecting. Your panning skills must be doing well. CP -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Thanks guys!
C'mon payday! Daddy needs to buy a sluice! It appears I have finally zeroed in on a pretty good location. I dug out one 5 gallon bucket of material today and here is what I found.

Only one bucket?
Wow you are on a good spot, if I get that much gold in one bucket the girlfriend won't see me for months! I will be digging non-stop! Well done! DD |
