Colin & Josh, you guys may come up again but I will need to be present. If there are any improvements (including dam reinforcement) I must be there to oversee.

Rushed home from work, all excited to dig in to my cons... broke out my stack of classifiers and started to work, only to remember my pans, snuffer and all that are in my trailer at Colin's house. :(

I will work on mine tomorrow I think. I'm glad we did a cleanup prior to (and after) busting through that hardpan. Make sure to process each separately so we can compare results. We can discuss the details of that in the Protected Forum.  Definitely post up some Gold pics here though!

Thank you very much swizz for inviting us up!
 Beautiful Gold and Garnets there. We had a blast and enjoyed the great company as well. For the prize I would like the dreamtime piece. I can pick it up next time I am up your way, which should be soon. On the way to the outing Dave an I stopped at another spot to test for gold and found some small gold. It was the first time that black sand wasn't present in my pan with gold. The heavy sands were pink with garnets. Then it was off to swizz's claim. Here is the video I shot from the 4 day adventure. July 4th weekend -------------------- |

Here's the shots from my point and shoot; still have some to get on here from my phone and DSLR
Colin, Josh, and I arrived at about 10pm on Thursday. Finally got to meet this amazing pooch! She has such a great personality and Swizz has done a great job socializing her and making her a super mellow pup!   The claim is such an awesome place to relax around the campfire amongst friends!   As we were setting up to start working Friday morning, an old timer rolled up to the claim and asked if he could do a little panning in the creek, to show his grandchildren how to pan. He used to have a claim in OR (or ID?) and his family had claims in this area in the early 1900s. Of course Swizz said yes; great to see the art being passed on to another generation!  Really happy with my little AU Shack!  Timber is a cannibal and likes sawdust lol  -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558

The Wonder Twins (Mike & Dave S) in the hole slinging mud and water!
 I wasn't around for the start of the hole, so I can only imagine how impressive it is to those who broke ground, because I know the difference between last year and this year is pretty impressive!  Another shot of the bear tracks on the road behind the camp... looks like it was good sized, given how much mud was displaced when it walked!  Firing up some coals for a yummy Dutch oven treat!

Gotta thank Scratch for the inspiration to get a Dutch oven... sure is a very versatile tool! Bought a 60 pack of liners, so I'm ready to get my money's worth out if it!
Tonight's dessert, Blueberry Crisp!!  And suddenly it got very quiet around the camp fire... except for an occasional "mmmmmmm"  "Doing dishes"  Back to the hole Saturday morning

Was great to meet Yoda and the birthday girl! And now Swizz knows just how deep his pond is! lol
 M&D weren't the only twins at the claim. After noticing the Gold Hog matting wasn't catching the bigger garnets, I added my Angus Alaskan to try and catch them. While it was running a bit hot, it caught more of them.  Oh Hail!  Such a proper lady!  -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558
