About to start bowling... this is what I picked out of the +30 mesh. Not bad. The concentrate is from 12 buckets of 1/2" sluiced. Will follow up with the rest.

Final tally from last 12 buckets of 1/2" class, hand sluiced. Nothing big, but good yield for only 12 buckets I think. (also...1943 silver wheat penny from my stash)

Great for 12 buckets! Looks like more than I get from a days dredging, which is way more than 12 buckets!

Nice haul there. Now it's time to go get some more concentrates.

Would like to get out earlier this week, but it looks like I won't be able to make it until Friday. Anyone else available? Will be bringing a friend/prospective club member.
Well shit... just checked the weather; high of 38 with rain/snow... guess I'll wait and see what develops over the week. Looks like rain/snow and low temps all week

Bummer for prospecting, good for eating lol got the new dredge nozzle; look forward to seeing how much of a difference having the 1.5" suction works! -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558

We first hiked to the large bend at tunnel 3. Spent about half the day there , and then went to the normal spot other side of the creek from the road. |

My back is tweaking today, so I didn't make it to CC. I did set up my stuff here yesterday to run 5 buckets of material from Swizz's claim I got last Oct, so I'll blue bowl it today instead

Weather is looking a little rough at this point for the weekend. Looks like land research and/or blue bowling in my living room is my Saturday mining activity this week. Anyone going out this weekend?

Unless things change, looks like a crappy weather weekend, so I probably won't be out. -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558

On the website http://www.cotrip.org/ there are links to CDOT cameras. There is one in the pullout that looks east and you can see the creek. It's a good check to see current weather conditions and how
high the creek is flowing. |
