    Before I run my cons through a sluice or even when just panning, I like to classify my gravels with a stacked 1/2” then to a 1/4” classifier. Every once in awhile I do find a nugget that doesn’t pass through 1/4.” There’s a previous post that shows a nugget spotted in a 1/2” classifier. A rare...

    Back working my recent spot. Had to take a break with the hard rains and sore back. Yep I can relate to having back pains, especially after several hours of shoveling and bending over. Snow is virtually gone here at the claim but still some in the higher country and the more densely wooded...

    Thanks. You may be right about the sluice. I thought maybe it was the stream current causing the gold to filter to one side of the box. Thanks for pointing that out :thumbup:

    Yeah I’d have to agree with you on that one. I’ve often said that I would’ve traded all gold found on this claim for a one day visit back to the time this upper part was worked. I can only imagine the amount of gold that was recovered. :crazy: On another note, here’s a rare moment that comes...

    Well I finally got around to posting some of the old tailings on the upper part of my claim. There’s a small source of water / creek that begins three quarters of the way up this draw (as seen in the first three photos). Judging by the tailings, much of it may have been done by the Chinese men...

    That sounds like a possible winner. Again I confess that I am an inexperienced individual when it comes to metal detecting (more-so the different makes, models, coils and their uses). I have stated that high mineralization is a huge problem for this area but with such recent gold finds, the use...

    I tried the older Fisher Goldbug metal detector with zero results In finding gold. There is so much mineralization in this area with hot rocks and iron deposits that it makes detecting very difficult. I will be the first to admit that (1) I have virtually no experience in metal detecting, (2)...

    I know it’s still winter but I thought that a quick “Show & Tell” of my more chunkier gold would soothe those cold winter blues away. (y)

    What does your gold resemble?

    Very cool! I do see the image of ‘the mask.’ Nice character. A great find for sure. Thanks for sharing.

    What does your gold resemble?

    Gold is gold and no matter it’s size, any amount is better than never having any at all. Don’t get me wrong, large nuggets and most certainly some larger pickers are a real delight to find when on the claim. Many of these do bring back fond memories of how and where they were found, not to...

    What does your gold resemble?

    This gold was taken in Idaho. Ohio does have glacial gold. I am familiar with several GPAA gold camps on the western side of your state. Some of the folks that I have contact with say they are doing quite well over there. I do know this organization has a membership but it may be worth looking...

    What does your gold resemble?

    I do like that idea with the bed liner paint. The black color certainly shows the gold quite well. Your suggestion reminded me of another trick I used to make a “drop down sluice.” Back in the day (gosh I sound old using that cliche), I acquired a small metal sluice box minus its top wing...

    What does your gold resemble?

    Very good question. Oddly enough, I have not had any wood warping issues. The fact that I placed screws about every 3-4 inches may have prevented any such possible warping. Boards are glued and inside corners are caulked to add stability and to prevent any loss of gold. Wood is a natural...
