Wanting to do some messing around with my banker/dredge and GH matting this winter, just to see how it would handle some Colorado pickers. I figured I'd ask here first, in case someone had some they wanted to get rid of. If not, any suggestions on an online source to pick them up for a fair price? Not looking for a giant nugget, just something bigger than the 12 mesh bits I've found.

I hate eBay.... but if you search "gold nuggets" there you will find a lot to choose from.

ya, I figured going that route would be the easiest if a local option doesn't "pan out" smiley-laughing021.gif

I have pickers and small nugs but don't wanna sell em. Would definitely let you experiment with them in your rig this spring if you don't have things tested by then.
I highly doubt that your rig is spitting out pickers judging by the nice recovery you got on the last trip posted. CC pickers are fairly rare from my understanding.

I know the GH is some good stuff... but I guess my 6 years stationed in Missouri rubbed off on me, so I need some "show me" lol

went ahead and bought a couple on ebay

a .845 gram flatter one and a 1.296 gram rounder one, so I can see what they do in the box and how the GH matting handles them.

I bet they don't make it past your punch plate.
