Title: so far, gold this summer
Post by: Phishisgroovin on August 26, 2016, 09:49:58 AM

on our blewett pass claims here in Wa.
This is around 4 to 5 trips, day trips and weekends.

this will hold 1/2oz of gold flake. i am on a mission to fill it by summers end.
Now that i have my dredge running, i think it may be possible.

Makes me want to trade in my whites for a minelab and head to Australia!
Is that Prospector in the vidio Phish?

Oh so much fun dredging.
Added to my collection.

I do have a heart of gold now.

That green pan looked great (the amount of gold, not the pan itself) :headbang: How much material did you have to go through to get those flakes? Hey maybe you can do that full time and get a TV show out of it!!! Nah forget it...nobody will watch you shoveling dirt to get gold. :dontknow:

It was good to meet you on the creek. I didn't get much gold but did find a penny in one hole, not old.
Back in Arizona now and hope to go on a dig with the Roadrunner Prospecting Club next weekend. Backhoe and dry washers.
