12-26-10 Gold Prospecting




Today the girlfriend and I took a ride up to the cabin. I just got some gold pans for Christmas so we were going to go see if we could sift through the gravels of a nearby creek and find some gold pieces. The price is at $1,400 an ounce as of this writing,  so finding a nugget or two would be awesome! It was our first time panning for gold with little or no instruction at all.  We found what we for sure agreed was a flake but nothing more than that. We spent minimal time at the cabin while we were up there. We agreed we came unprepared and decided that maybe we should invest in waders and proper water proof boots.  It was just a day trip so we panned for only 4 hours at max... which sorta sucked, but it takes 3 hours to get to this creek so next time we will have to leave earlier and maybe we will get lucky :) If anything else it was a nice day at the creek! Check out the shots above.
