Banjo pan puttin in that work, its a very lite portable sluice. The material is dredge tailings, slurry goes into a self dug tailings pond, reclamation easy, the fish love the material, had many minnows and trout swim towards the disturbance and new shady pits.

Gold Bearing Lead Ore
A mixed Cu/Pb sulfide with Hematite and Limonite infected crystal structures, this ore piece is highly magnetic resulting in a strong attraction to Neodymium magnets, under a microscope I can see Gold in the mix.

Some Panning and Rockhounding this weekend, I talked with fishermen about werewolves. My panning sediments attracted a pike to the shore, The Pike was caught, she has a tag on, subsequently released. The RedBug is a chigger, they are like mosquitoes. Lower Clark Fork, found gold and REE's.

$2.24 recovered today, a long walk to many parks in a chain, ground still quite frozen but was very fun. My digging implement is a large screwdriver, a city approved probe.
Minelab XTP
Minelab 35 pin.
I have signal data (I.D's) for this machine for anyone interested.

Diggin out some maps, documents out of my extensive library, in preparation for the mining season, and a big trip comin up soon, to locate old mine sites, usually to report nasty ponds to the BLM, and to collect gold, and rare earths in host rock Quartz.
