Here is a pic of some of the gold we are getting from the old dredge piles. We moved up the road A little closer to Blackhawk and the gold got bigger :P

Thanks MRS CP that looks much better!! And you are welcome anytime you and Dan want to come to the diggins ;) We got all of this gold in about 5 hours with a Goldking highbanker. We found if we set the box as flat as we could and set the water down low we could do better at the small stuff. We where also verrry happy to see some good pickers and a nugget :D :P ;)
 Anyone that wants to go is more than welcome I like to meet new people and find gold B) I am going up tomarrow (Sunday) to CC and I will be bringing my 4" dredge So come up and say hi. I will be in a green toyota tundra around light pole # 104 or so just below Jesse"s place.Mike -------------------- friends don't let friends carry the cons across the river

MotorBikeMike, funny how the camera can show a beautiful sight, but it just can't do the sight justice. The beauty of gold, is not in the dull yellow, as the pic suggests.
Instead it's in the feel, the luster, and the labor--a labor of love, if I may--it takes to produce it. A piece of gold, is akin to your favorite meal. To me, that's a Hardees Swiss and Mushroom burger (God's TRUE gift to mankind, thank you very much!). You can look at the pictures all you want. You can visualize the burger in your hands...the lucious (sp?) tasty of the creamy mushroom sauce in your mouth.... ...no. No. NOTHING, can replace the actual experience of eating it in real life. Just as with gold. You can have the pictures. You can have posters big enough to fill your entire living room wall. But it doesn't matter. To have it, to hold it, to feel it in your hands- THAT is the true justice that we all seek. :)And just think of all the S&M burgers a 1/2 toz nuggets can buy, too! Love at it's finest!
