I can't put any up of exact locations I'm doing the prospecting not to reveal where I am going which is a shame but a few photos going to places along the way to my missions.

I have to take this road to get to every spot.

If only I could show the actual prospecting locations, they are generally very nice spots but these give you an idea of the area.

“All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost.” ...  

For some reason I felt compelled to comment with a Bilbo Baggins quote- that landscape is beautiful and I would disappear for days there. You are truly fortunate to live in a place like that!

Hmmm...  Seems image tags from a hosting site aren't working.  I'll have to figure that out later.

I ran through my photo library and remembered this day!  This Chinese Camp was just above the creek they pounded.  This day I only found one nugget, some coins and a Silver Chain.  I know nothing about the age of the chain.  Over the years the little creek and bench gave up a handful of ounces they left for us and hundreds of coins.  I’m sure to this day there is more to find!

Okay, figured it out.  Some of the country I like to roll around in.

Still a little early for them in most of the places I roam.  But, they are pretty common later in the year.
