John-Edmonton Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Back to the same river spot I was yesterday. Because there was such a small amount of water flow to operate my river sluice, I brought my California mini highbanker. And that made all the difference. I previously had to chop a hole in the ice. Can't really dam up water when the river is covered with ice. This amount was much better then my small previous attempt at this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Stone Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Whoo, i wish i had a creek close to me with that much gold. I dredge in OHIO, and get about that much in a year. Don't know if i could handle that ice or not, I can't do like i used to. I soon will be 73 years old, broken back, metal plate in my neck. I still keep going. Good job.

Look at some of the creeks towards that area and check them out. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a true inspiration to a lot of people because of how you area able to get every grain of gold from areas that are not wanting to give it up. Good luck and stay safe out there.
