I collect old gold pans, mostly bank givaways of which I have 2, 1 from Helena Montana and 1 from San Francisco, these were given away in the 50's to lure depositors. Anyways I just won bid on this beauty, still sealed in plastic. I don't know the pic of the back might be too big- or they all might be LOL, but this is #132 of 5000, comes with a small bag of dirt instuctions say spread dirt in pan 1/4 cup water pick gold out with tweezers (must be nuggets if I don't need snuffer bottle LOL), clean pan put gold in pan cover with clear glue and display. See if these will attach or if CP gets to resize LOL. Mark ;-{

Got one outside Russ, so rusty you'd swear Major Downey used it LOL. When are your wifes classes? August? Beginning or end? They shut the water back down on the Arkansas about when school starts- prime time. Gonna be a great year- got an Aussie letting me in on a setup to revolutionize fine gold recovery in a dredge, getting a bit more complicated than I had hoped but its sounding real sweet. Mark

July= high water, not to worry we can still play. Everybody comes in July so I usually go midweek to find a good camp spot. will have to check my schedule on dates when you know- if my parents go out of town I have to mind the store so to speak but they usually don't go for more than a week. I won't take my dredge out for less than a weeks worth, without help anyways- can't have you come all this way and not see the famous Dahlke sucker LOL. Was you bringing anything out for flying? Mark
