Hello, Just wanted to introduce myself. Name is Manny and live in LaSalle county. I am 40 yrs old, married and have 3 dogs. A chocolate lab named Bosco, a Labradoodle named Mumford and a Weimer named River( female). I work in Bolingbrook Mon-Fri and will be trying to prospect on the weekends. Once ice forms, you can find me walking on ice somewhere.
I started panning and fossil hunting this year. So far, I am just trying to learn how to set up gear and understand my area's geology.
Here is the first ever try at setting up a sluice. I found plenty of black sand, pyrite, quartz and plenty of Indian beads. I did also find a fossil that was cone shaped.
Anyone else from the area that would like to teach a newbie?
Good luck to those going out and be safe!
