Another Fun Season In The Books!

[IdahoPeg]

Time flew by up at the cabin and on my little claim this season. I continued to clear, detect, and drywash the decomposed granite bench areas. Here’s a nice clean out from one drywash session:

I also reworked the sides of some oldtimer Diggings, filling in their ditch as I go....lots of work here for little return lol!

Found some nice nuggies when I uncovered some crevices in a different bedrock...biggest piece was almost .6gram, decent size for up here:

A highlight of the summer was having my nephew’s boys visit. They learned drywashing, running the concentrates through the recirculating sluice, then how to pan. Each ended up with a couple grams(hmmm....maybe a little “salt” in those concentrates lol):

AND the season ended on a positive note! Found a nice handful in this small scraping from a new spot....definitely will setup the drywasher here next year! 

Ended up with just shy of 12 grams total up here for the season....not much gold, but tons of fun and memories! 🙂

Some like a lot of hard work but fun for all involved.

How good is that.

And good on you keeping the kids interested.  A little bit of salt never hurt anybody 🙂

I'm glad you had a good time, nice to get the boys involved, that is as good as gold itself.
