See you at the crick CL6. I'll probably get there at around 8am I think. I drove the canyon today and it looked great. Water level still low. Same rusty discoloration in the water when I went by in the afternoon. It's coming from the Central City fork, so probably some mining op or road work happening up there. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Crazy up here, you can't dig inside the "wetted perimeter" of the creek (as in, not where the water is flowing),/only in the gravel/sand outside the creek butnyou can run your sluice in the creek. And most places you can only dredge 1 aug - 30 sep -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558 CP Lifetime Member

Great day on Saturday. Met Emac and his boy, weather was fantastic. I also tried down stream, the gold looked good, but quickly petered out. Moved back above the fish structure and seem to have more consistent gold. I ran 8 classified buckets through two different mackirk sluices to compare recovery rates. I also used the new miller table, and I will give my thoughts on it in the equipment section.

Here is the -100 gold cleaned up with the miller table.

It was great meeting RelicsNCoins on Saturday. Lane and I did a little digging, but like normal, no idea what all we found yet since it's all still in the cons. Did take a couple pics though on the creek.

I still have my eye on an Angus highbanker/dredge combo though.... -------------------- Lifetime Member opera non verba "All courses of action are risky, so prudence is not in avoiding danger (it's impossible), but calculating risk and acting decisively.

Let me know when you are heading up again and maybe I can come up and get in the way! I'm hoping to spend much more time in the hills this season. Now, if I can just remember how this shovel works... and where did I put that damn classifier? -------------------- Happy and proud Lifetime member! I can't help it if I have rocks in my head.
