Hey all, I live in the east bay, and have been going up to the north fork of the American river... Yesterday was my 3rd week in a row, and I'm so freaking hooked that I want to use my vacation up there!

So far most of the gold I found was panning, but I'm really wanting to find spots for sniping.

Well since I'm up there every weekend now, I'd love to have partners to go with! I'm comfortable going alone, but it's really nice to have other people around so we can brag about our finds ;)

Hit me up on Facebook if you'd like (I don't see anywhere to message others on here...) Facebook.com/travyleigh

heavy pans to you All! Wish I could be there on Sat!

Get that Big gold!
 

Where do you usually park at, Nate? I usually start at the small bridge under the big one on forest hill, I guess it's called confluence. Right where the NF and MF meet together
 

I know it's very very overly searched... But I still find a little :3

Nowhere near there. I go to the areas that nobody wants to hike into lol. It's free parking though :P
 

I'm gonna have to try that haha. I'm still not goin out there alone though, mountain lions, bears, rattlesnakes... Oh my
 

Ahhhh man! I'm jealous... I'm headed to a refinery.
 

As long as you don't see flames, you're good hahaa. Do you wear snakebite chaps?
 

How much equipment do you take usually? Since I'm usually just sniping... I keep most of my crap in a backpack (camelback), like my rock hammer, pry bar, food and water. Then in a fannypack I have some smaller crevicing tools, snuffer bottles etc. and in my hands I carry (usually I'm swimming, cause it's easier to swim than to move on rocks) a gold pan and a bigger crevicing tool

Here's what I brought with me today. Not sure how I have the service to do all this in the canyon... river is higher than I expected... old sluice spot is underwater. Settling for the only available spot.

Wow, quite a bit of equipment to be hauling in! Send pics of the gold you get!
 

Packing it in early... anyone want to buy a bazooka? Only used twice. I should probably make another thread for it.

Anyone panned sand from Lowes or Home Depot?
