Got out to the river today with Sample Pan Dan. I would have sluiced it on a normal day but the setup was not right and I did not feel like lugging buckets all day so I panned instead. Was able to pan right where the material was. Dan sluiced and did well.

Man, that's damn good for just panning!
 

Is that gold in the middle right of the pan?
 

Yes. It was a mercury button about 90 percent gold. Found it at the waterline in a little squeeze area about 4 inches wide. I just sampled around today. I left lots of spots open that were producing color as I wanted to get a read on the area.
 

As always, great work you always find the color! Beautiful! Tomorrow will be my first real day out prospecting to see if I can recover from a long winter looking at all your finds.
 

SPD always a great day on the water with you.

AlaskaGold Good luck in your first trip out. It will be my turn now to ooh and aah at the pics...
 

I hit Yankee Jims on Monday, just cleaning out some small traps with hand tools. I'm back in San Diego now, but I'll be back up north in a couple weeks.

Nice Color SPD. So cleaning out gutter/ditch along the roadside did work. I will have to give that a try.
 

Hit the river today and hit a pocket of mercury. I had most of it separated and in a different container, but there was still enough in my gold and bs in my snuffer, that it turned to amalgam on the way out. At least i don't need to worry about the remaining black sand. :-)

Was out with Goldenmojo today. Didn't get much gold, but i killed it on square nails.. lol thanks again Joe.
 

I'm still waiting g on my first square nail too.. lol is it weird that I want one?
 

You could have had a huge collection of them Saturday. Good thing you stopped when you did. Here is my take on the adventure. Had a great day out with you. Wish i would have brought the bazooka.
