Yeah, I like it up there. Maybe try something on the other side of the river this time. We played-out that last spot I think.
I'm still up in the air on schedule. If my work materials shipment arrives tomorrow, I may need to work through the weekend... if not I'm there! I'll know by tomorrow. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |

Have fun, still Saturday for me. Have a men's soccer game on Sunday. |

Oh? A fellow footballer as well? May have to bring a ball with on Saturday and see if I can juggle in waders :) It's been about a year since I played with a team...did a little coaching, and go kick and juggle at the park not too infrequently.
I'm planning on heading up tomorrow; likely the same area we've been meeting at. -------------------- Lifetime Member

Washington has some good Gold, I hope you guys score!
 I'm working tomorrow but taking Sunday off. See you at the crick CL6. I'll probably get there at around 8am I think. I drove the canyon today and it looked great. Water level still low. Same rusty discoloration in the water when I went by in the afternoon. It's coming from the Central City fork, so probably some mining op or road work happening up there. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Crazy up here, you can't dig inside the "wetted perimeter" of the creek (as in, not where the water is flowing),/only in the gravel/sand outside the creek butnyou can run your sluice in the creek. And most places you can only dredge 1 aug - 30 sep -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558

Fun day and great weather yesterday on the creek with CL6.
 We went a ways downstream (same parking lot), Gold was looking good.   Prospecting CC by GhostCreekMine, on FlickrThis means I sluiced 6 buckets of 1/2" class.  Six Buckets by https://www.flickr.com/photos/121086004@N07/, on Flickr

Great day on Saturday. Met Emac and his boy, weather was fantastic. I also tried down stream, the gold looked good, but quickly petered out. Moved back above the fish structure and seem to have more consistent gold. I ran 8 classified buckets through two different mackirk sluices to compare recovery rates. I also used the new miller table, and I will give my thoughts on it in the equipment section.
Here is the -100 gold cleaned up with the miller table.

It was great meeting RelicsNCoins on Saturday. Lane and I did a little digging, but like normal, no idea what all we found yet since it's all still in the cons. Did take a couple pics though on the creek.

Yes sir! Attwood was great honoring the warranty, and I'm back in business. I still have my eye on an Angus highbanker/dredge combo though....
