Started diggin around 8am. dug for an hour or more. Sampled my cons to find about 10 flakes. My plan was to stay sat night and work again sun. The temp grew fast and wore me out. I was covered in dirt from drywashing. Even at a water bottle per hour I was feeling heat exaustion. My pan station had about 50 or so bees drinking in it and made me not want to play with the pan station hehe. I thought about setting up my tent, but thought it would be way hotter in there to pan. Figured I was exhausted and it would be better to go home, enjoy some ice cold beer and go through my cons in the comfort (if you wanna call it that) of my garage I dont mind fine gold, but I really like chunky stuff alot better. Remember I am in my first year, so this is a nice score for me. 
Looking forward to drywashing near Randsburg, as I have nuggets from the area. Gonna have to wait until the weather forcaster can get it right though. Its just as hot up there. Randsburg has some nice claims. I've been to 3 metal detecting but didn't have my washer yet. The nuggets I have were given to me by a friend of a friend with a private semi commercial claim. I cant wait to find my own. Gold fever....no cure....but more :P
Yeah, its a GPAA claim. Good one at that too, for so cal. Not alot of claims you get pickers and bigger until you go north. And, if anyone wants to share some close to me where I can get nuggets...I'm all ears. I wont post the particular claim in public. Thats saved for the claims book comments. If you live near me and want to prospect, hit me up...pm me. Looks like its going to be really hot throughout the week but the drywashing season is far from over. I'd really like to get up near Randsburg and dig on First Chance. Adk, or close one.
Did training near barstow, forget the name of the base, the whole place smelled of gold. No time to look though.
