oh my God, we had so much fun!
It was a pleasure to meet Henry who is one hard working dude.... non-stop and he knows his stuff. Very nice to see Pat, Woody, and Scott again... I missed you guys. Pics and vid coming soon. The weather was really nice until about 4:00 and we finally got rained out. For me it was the first rain storm and panning of 2014, fantastic day! I think the other guys (hopefully) may have taken a few pics too, post em up here! Yeppers, pretty sure we all scored some Gold too, which is always a nice bonus. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Ok... here's the short vid I shot yesterday. Woody was already upstream so unfortunately I didn't catch his mug.
Video quality is only so-so. I'm kicking myself for using my smartphone... I had my Nikon DSLR there and it has an exceptional HD video feature that I forgot about. Watch it on full screen 1080P setting for best results!!!! Otherwise it is grainy... use the youtube settings.

I have to wait a while for the vid to load, but so far, from the short opening that I can watch, it looks great!

Scott may have gotten some really good Gold from the Trommel. We were seeing it in his matting but I couldn't capture a good pic unfortunately. I got a small amount of micron Gold but haven't Bowled it yet.... I'll update with that pic sometime in the future.
Meanwhile, here's a peek into Woody's pan. Woody's Pan by ghostcreekmine, on Flickr -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |

Thanks!
I wanted to hit some spots on the other side but was chicken to cross it. Woody crossed upstream a ways where there was a stretch of slack water but I didn't want to lug all my stuff up there. I had to keep an eye on Pat anyway. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |

A couple of quick pans shows a lot of native lead - good sign for a good clean-up - I'm hoping for 2+ grains.... we shall see!

That was a great excursion.
It was nice to see all of you guys again and meeting Henry was pleasant as well. I think we all had an enjoyable time. Wish more of us could have made the trip but there will be other opportunities. Just like you Chris it was my first rain of the season as well. It felt good though, not too cold. I checked my concentrates over real close and that single piece in the picture was by far the biggest I could come up with. I think the gold grows a little bigger on that far side. Probably because it is tough to get to for most of the year and most folks stay on the near side. Those blocky chunks in the pan are Magnetite. Always a good sign that you are close to the gold when you have heavies in the pan. Whenever you get out or go on one of these outings you just never know what you will find or what might happen. Finding a little gold is always kind of cool but my best memory from the outing will be when a fish swam down my sluice and then right back up again. I had my hand in the sluice poking around and it came in with such an unexpected rush it kind of startled me a bit and I jerked my hand out of the sluice. It just swam down to the end, turned around and swam right back out through the mouth. In a flash it was gone. I gave it the customary greeting of the day and had to chuckle. So my motto for this year is going to be, “Get out there, and let nature happen”. Hope to do some more outings again soon, Woody. -------------------- Proud CP Lifetime Member
