The new dig site and arrangements sounds like a prospector's dream-come-true!

We have penciled it into our next trip west.

Good Luck to all!

Hi to the D's,

I haven't written here for a long while, but visit almost every night. Jackie and I are looking forward to the spring season. I've tried to prospect on my own this summer and as all that have looked for the pocket of gold and got skunked the diging was hard work, and the drive back to Oklahoma a long one. Still enjoy my thoughts of our first dig on your Fairplay outting, and the great time we all had. I will also be one of the first to visit next year as soon as the snow melts and you say the word to come and get it.

I'm not into polishing stones as it would require changing my thoughts from the gold. So for me and I'm sure a lot of others your pay to dig fits what we dream of, a place to find color in our pans, and great people as a treat.

Thanks to both of you,

Litttle John

Hi Everyone,

Awesome! Great to see you all interested in the new digs!
Tis' a really sweeeeet spot!

I think there could be some type of spring prospectors gathering in the mix here?
Keep your eyes on the forum for a new thread on that.

Don't give up on this season yet though! ohmy.gif Still some good diggin' weather left! The last 2 days here have been pretty darn nice. happy.gif

Email us for reservations right after the weather check! wink.gif

Time to start thinking hard about spring...........maybe that will help hurry it up!! laugh.gif

Here are a couple pics of the pay to dig site with a little white fluffy stuff stickin' around.
You can see the tailings piles have been dozed flat and the larger hill to the right is unprocessed ground where we dig. Creek is just out of the picture to the left side and gives you an idea how far the creek is across the tailings. ohmy.gif
No worries though.....the trench looking area goes down to the water table so we have water acess on both sides.

Colorado's new pay to dig is open all year round weather permitting......by reservations only. Please inqiure soon to make yours. happy.gif

I'm planning to hunker down and relieve that land of some of it's fearsome burden.
Seems the least I can do!

Thankee for the opportunity!

Here is a pic of the pond in the trench. Even though the creek is froze, the water flowing under the tailings is not frozen.
Great flow for highbanking!



Whew......... Im ready!

Test pan showed nice color for him. smile.gif

Well I was able to hike into the dig site, and haul out 2 buckets of dirt.
Not so easy hauling buckets of dirt uphill in 5-7 foot drifts, but a great workout!
It doesnt look like it, but the snow on the hill side in the pic above this one is over 3 feet deep still.

Ground wasnt near as froze as i thought it would be.
I may be crazy, but Im not stupid.......Im bringing the highbanker in next time.
Pond was thawed just enough to get to the water.

Spot where I dug this dirt had color in it, and as you can see, I didnt dig very far into it yet.........Yet! wink.gif

I just noticed there is no mention about being able to dredge in the creek. unsure.gif

There has to be a place for a girl/guy to dredge.....hehe
Looks like I have to go back and edit CP's first post and add that important information. biggrin.gif

Now were ready!
