Nice day's haul! Happy belated birthday!!

And thanks Mrs CP; good to be back! 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.

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. emoticon-object-018.gif
Huge kudos and thank you to you and wife for contributing to this, it means a lot.

It is an amazing experience and so great to spend time with these guys and gals to hear their stories. Glad your dad got to go on one!

Well.... socked-in with snow and a day off. char060.gif Might have time to process.
This is my concentrate from the last two trips (some Gold in foreground that didn't shake down with the pile).

About to start bowling... this is what I picked out of the +30 mesh. Not bad. The concentrate is from 12 buckets of 1/2" sluiced. Will follow up with the rest.

Final tally from last 12 buckets of 1/2" class, hand sluiced. Nothing big, but good yield for only 12 buckets I think. (also...1943 silver wheat penny from my stash)

Great for 12 buckets! Looks like more than I get from a days dredging, which is way more than 12 buckets!

Would like to get out earlier this week, but it looks like I won't be able to make it until Friday. Anyone else available? Will be bringing a friend/prospective club member.

Well shit... just checked the weather; high of 38 with rain/snow... guess I'll wait and see what develops over the week. Looks like rain/snow and low temps all week kick_can.gif

Bummer for prospecting, good for eating lol

got the new dredge nozzle; look forward to seeing how much of a difference having the 1.5" suction works!

Only a 50% chance tomorrow... high of 40-50; think I'll head that way.

Which side of the creek did y'all work?

Couple different places. We first hiked to the large bend at tunnel 3. Spent about half the day there , and then went to the normal spot other side of the creek from the road.
