Scott and I got out this weekend and invited Freddieb to come along and get his pan wet for the first time ever. Freddie explained to me all he had really done is get a couple of pans and watch videos and read online... So I said no problem that's how many of us got started. And panning is a real pain to get down... So we all met up Saturday and off to the creek we went. We got up to the creek got setup real quick for our sluicing and spent a bit of time panning with Freddie giving help when asked. He did great and picked it up pretty well. Great job Freddie! I hate panning... lol Once I felt that he was comfortable and having fun I refocused my attention to our sluicing. We ran several 1-2 gallon buckets for a few hours till the thunder and clouds scared us out later in the afternoon. This week found a good bit of amalgam, wood in the hole also that was charred completely black and almost solid as a rock, almost like coal... I know what coal looks like but this was not coal, more a charcoal. lol Most of the really fine stuff rolled into a couple balls.

Not on any creek unfortunately but getting the fever. Your creek is looking fantastic. I think it needs a baby Dahlke to clean up what you left. Lol.
