Colorado Prospector - Gem and mineral prospecting and mining forums _ CP's Past Events _ Club Members Dig Day!

Posted by: Mrs.CP Mar 12 2008, 12:35 PM

We thought it would be a good time for the CP club members to
get a chance to see the new dig site, and get in some free panning.

If your interested in attending Saturday (March 29th), just e-mail Dan or myself and let us know, and we will e-mail you more information. Lets hope the weather is kind to us....hehe

Ahhhh! Can't get there fast enough!

It was a great day, the sun shined the whole time.

There was still some snow left, but this crazy lady with no coat, was
digging up all the white crystals leaving the dirt exposed so it was all good.

A picture of Dan panning and Debbie doing a little detecting on the tailings pile.

It was great to get out and the weather was perfect.
Looks like spring is here.

Posted by: ColoradoProspector Mar 30 2008, 12:18 PM

Well I guess we lucked out pickin' the 29th
This morning at about 8 am it was 28 degrees and snowing.

Springtime in the Rockies!!

Gerry and Debbie wasted no time putting the spring fever on the dig pad so to speak!

Those of you "homyhocks" as Jmann would say who didn't make the drive.....YOU MISSED OUT!!

I'm happy for the folks that got to avail themselves of this fine opportunity!

Those CPs have got the place to have some fun and find some "yaller", and great company as well.

The members dig day was a wonderful success. Although we didn't find much gold (see blurry picture), the weather was nice and it was enjoyable spending the day with Dan and Denise. The pay site is a nice location with lots of potential. Too bad more members didn't come.

Thanks Gerry, we had a great day with you at the members dig day too.
Hopefully you found some more yella' stuff in the rest of the cons that didn't get processed in the blue bowl's 20-30 mesh catagory of cons.....
Bet there are some nice lil' chunkers in the coarser stuff....and of course lots of fines will be in the smaller stuff as well.

Good day all the way around.
