GET ME OFF THE GRILL, I'M DONE!

The last trip up to the Wild AM. With my gold hounds. Did a marathon this weekend. Started Friday afternoon ran till noon Monday, dig, dig, dig, sluice, sluice, sluice. Man am I beat! I think my honey hole is cleaned out finally. We had some nice foliage it was at peak. The weather Fri/Sat wasn't the nicest, wet and cold Sun/mon were nice sunny and warm. Monday I went down to the river at the crack of stupid while setting up my sluice I looked up got to see a black bear it was about 35 yds. away luckily on the other side of the river. Between the cold and my disability it's time to drop the skirt and end the tea party. Looking back on the season it's been a good one met a lot of nice people, great weather, wild life, what more could you want. Oh' yeah more gold! LOL! All and all I've gotten almost 12 grams of gold with this last clean-up. Now it's time to get ready for that nasty season, WINTER! I'll be jonesing for gold now for the next 6 mos. till I thaw out!

A banner is a banner. Would be great not a easy thing to do in our neck of the woods. I vote banner. But the year total is more impressive.

Hey trip, I think I figured out that river. Doing a little research, I think that I was on a part of the old river bed. I went to another spot on the river and found that same cobble and hit the gold pretty good there as well. And yes a banner would be cool!

THANKS GUY'S I GOT A BANNER!

Awesome to see some Wild Am GOLD up on the BANNER. Great results and glad to see it up top!

Awesome haul NH.N, question though because I know nothing about panning, why do your vials (and vials I see on the TV prospecting shows) have the black rocks or sand mixed in? I could see myself getting into panning someday when I retire out west....looks like fun.....

 

[nh.nugget]

It takes a little time, patience and good eye sight to pan down that small to get the rest of the black sands out of your gold. It's mostly magnetite and hematite real easy to lose small gold.

I see thanks - I feel the best thing about gold is it's age, that it all was made from supernovas or exploding stars, older than our planet, some 4.5 billion years ago.......as Joni Mitchell sings...We are Stardust......

 

[slowwevo]

Very nice season you had,heres my last seasons booty..just over 3 oz's

 

[bedrock bubba]

Great photos! What kind of camera did you use?

 

[scruggs]

NICE LOOKING STREAM YOU BEEN IN EVEN WITH A TREE PARKED ACROSS IT FROM THE RECENT RAINS. GOLD LOOKS GOOD TOO.

 

[nh.nugget]

Hey Bubba, It's a Fuji high def. The thing is smarter than me! I can take movies with sound.do macro and super macro pictures. Just about anything you want to do. I think that I can do more than my high dollar Nikon equipment. The only thing I have to do is compress photo's to down load them to web sites (too many pixels) thanks nugget

NICE LOOKING STREAM YOU BEEN IN EVEN WITH A TREE PARKED ACROSS IT FROM THE RECENT RAINS. GOLD LOOKS GOOD TOO.

Before the rains a few weeks ago that tree was parked about a 100 yds. upstream and there was one parked right where I was digging. That one is gone!

From a layman ....
IMO Gold and how it came to be is Just an incredible process.

Congratulations on the Banner , I KNOW it was some hard work getting such results.

 

[nh.nugget]

Yes it's amazing the process that it went through and the age of it, and how long it's been since it saw the light of day. Especially up in NH., it's not that easy to find, and very limited. My back and arms still hate me! But I would do it all over again if possible. It was a hell of a summer!

 

[swamp yankee]

Looks like you need a couple light floods to flush down some more for you to get year! Congrats on your productive season this year....

 

[nh.nugget]

Between the rain we've got coming and the spring thaw it will get flushed and restocked just like a nice trout pond. LOL!

 

[steelheadwill]

Having done a bit of panning here in NH, I know what an outstanding accomplishment that pile is

Congrats on the Yellow! I'm over in Milton, We should get together sometime

 

[nh.nugget]

Thanks Will, yeah' this season was exceptional. Don't know how much river time I'll have next year? Got other irons in the fire. But if the planets align and our planet rotates I'm gonna' try my damnedest to have another good season!

Beautiful GOLD! Great job!
