Went out with Frank of Adventures for Gold to one of his private claims... what a great time. Absolutely beautiful up there. I was the only Newb there, but with Frank's (Tnet user 2cmorau) and Mr. J's (Tnet User Gravel Washer) help, I was able to find some nice flakes!!! I look forward to going up there again!!!

Let me know if you guys want to make a trip to Placerville, I will be doing a bit of prospecting on Saturday. More than willing to show you my local spots. I know just the spot for Frank with a good gravel bar, just promise you wont shovel the whole thing through your sluice..lol, man Frank can move some gravel!! :headbang:
 

HHahahahaa.... :icon_profileright: :notworthy:

Frank is the man. Trying to get my family to camp. When that doesn't happen, I'll be looking to get out hunting. Will definitely get a hold of ya! Good luck.
