As the old saying goes "gold is where you find it". We were really surprised when we had a few colours in our pans, the bigger flakes almost made us ****e our pants. A friend of my dad told us he used to trap in this area and he used to pan it when he had time. My dad and I always wanted to go out to try it, but never made it. So my youngest son and myself did a lot of sledding and prospecting last winter and tried it earlier this spring. Cant wait to get back.


Tbark, good luck to you and your crew. Just remember "gold is where you find it". The stuff we picked up was not in the bed of the creek, but up on an old bench where the creek used to run.
