Hi All,

This was my second visit to this spot. My girlfriend and I and a buddy of mine went out on sat and spent the day.
I have been eye balling this one spot 2 weeks ago so I took my cal sluice out dug a a hole behind a boulder. Afterwards we panned the concentrates and found a little color. Just made my day!

Nice little pickers!
 

Like the look of that color.
 

Nice little nuggets there. Yeah, you "found a little color!" Very nice; I'll bet that made your day; would have made mine, too.

Thanks for sharing the picture; very nice encouragement for all of us.

May your next pan be even heavier!
 

MAN, i want so bad to be able to find gold of that size. 90% of all of mine is -100 that i find....
 

The black sand I have saved has a lot of flour gold in it. I will save it up and figure a way to run it. Whats the best way to get it out??
 

Id suggest a miller table. Set at the right water speed and angle i think its faster than a blue bowl
 

Thanks for including the paper clip. Had me going there for a minute :icon_scratch: Still, very nice gold.:thumbsup: Just pan it out. You do have a sniffer bottle right? Tables or Bowls come later. Once the fever's really got a hold.

...right...and you may not ever need more than a 50 mesh classifier and a few drops of Jetdry. Really!
 

that's why I put the clip in the pict. it looks nicer then it is!
 

Very nice color, yes the paperclip helps to get an idea for the size since we all probably thought the same thing, pickers in the bottom of a 14" pan. :)
 

yes I can see how that could have been interpreted. I am glad I put in. none the less it was still color!

Now put a dime in the pan and rephotograph!
 

Great color for lytle creek .. I've dug and dug and dug there found hardly anything .. Good job!
 

You know ,I've always had better luck at Lytle Creek than EFSG for some reason. I'd always work where the the bigger rocks are. G/L
 

I have seen some very interesting areas that need to be checked
