The Gold was about the same from what I was seeing in my upper box section. I haven't done a cleanup yet but I'd say relatively similar results. Hopefully my claims will be accessible by the time CC goes out of control, that would be good timing for me. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Yep, stayed on the road side of the creek since my daughter was wearing rubber boots. She worked the cobbles just outside the water's edge, and I worked a couple of large rocks in the middle of the creek.

It was nice enough all day, that my daughter wore shorts and a t-shirt. She decided to skip a college class and hang with her old man shoveling rocks in the creek.

Are you meaning that idiotic bike path they are putting in? Sorry, my opinionated side came out..haha

The water will rise another foot or so, and the flow rate will spike around 2000ft^3/sec before coming back down over the next 5 months. Could be the bike path though; they need to get their heavy equipment off the spot I was working last year is what I truly know. -------------------- Lifetime Member opera non verba "All courses of action are risky, so prudence is not in avoiding danger (it's impossible), but calculating risk and acting decisively.

Here is the +50 gold cleaned up from my birthday sluicing adventure on Tuesday. Pretty nice piece off to the right. The chunky piece in the middle is gold with some other host rock. I dug a pretty deep hole and it paid off with larger gold, probably won't be as much fine gold I'm guessing. Will clean the -50 and -100 gold tomorrow.

Now if only the weather wasn't crappy this weekend so I could get out. Maybe Mon or Tue will look better. I've got my Museum volunteer gig Wed and Thur-Sat Mrs Crusty and I are making our third trip as Guardians on an Honor Flight taking WWII/Korea vets to DC to see the memorials. -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558 CP Lifetime Member

That is outstanding. My Dad is a WWII Navy vet (USS Pensacola) and in his 90s. A few years ago he had the privilege of taking an Honor Flight and really, really enjoyed it! Said he was treated like a king... and that's what these guys deserve. Huge kudos and thank you to you and wife for contributing to this, it means a lot. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

This is my concentrate from the last two trips (some Gold in foreground that didn't shake down with the pile).
