Gold Prospecting, Panning and, Detecting Mother Yuba
Me, Gary @TwoToes , Kellen @YellowFeverProspecting make our way up Highway 49 towards Mother Yuba and the Gold that waits for us to find it. Our original plans were to do some Sluicing but the River had her own plans so we adapt and put out the Gold Pans and start looking for hot spots along the river that might have trapped some Placer Gold Nuggets. Now that fall is here in the Mother Lode it's a bit cold in the mornings so those Headphones make good ear muffs so I turned on the Minelab SDC 2300 and checked the Bedrock and a few dump piles ( tailings ) left over from someone else. Found a couple good looking Crevices so out comes the Marian Crevice Tool to clean out those cracks. Here's a tip for you all don't let anybody who had smoked Tuna for lunch ( Gary ) put his oily fingers in your pan it makes the Gold Float !!!!!! so sit back and see if we can find enough Gold so we can stop and get an Ice Cream on our way home.
