Got out today but not to get gold to fill my vial. I worked the "Get Gold Fever Day" sponsored by Jefferson County Open Space Parks up in Clear Creek Canyon. We ran a dredge (suck it CA, we have local govt asking us to please come out with our dredges!), a gold cube with trommel and several different sluices to demonstrate equipment and good mining practices...and let folks use all the gear. We also had panning stations set up for the newbies with salted creek gravel for a guaranteed smile!
We were above 6000 feet elevation and faced a very frozen creek but we found fine gold everywhere we dug :-)
...me with the senior ranger. She was so excited to work with us, love it!
...feeding the trommel/Cube, look at all that ice
...a broader shot before we got set up.
