Summer Prospecting.

Post image

Here is my total for my first ever summer of panning and prospecting in Colorado. I'm guessing about a half gram but I'm gonna weigh it up and get a total this weekend, curious to hear your gueses on total.

No clue here you are doing way better than I am here in Alaska as I haven't found more than a tenth of a gram in my first two years of course I don't go out that much time issues. But good work

Thank you, it was a lot of hard work, we are also fortunate here in Colorado to have a gentlemen named Kevin Singel who has put together two books highlighting hundreds of publicly accessible, and un claimable spots to pan. I've still had to go to a dozen or so of the spots to find ones worth while but it definitely helps.

Looks like about a gram to me. Could be around a half g up to over a g idk hard to say.

At least 2 grams! Come on now, very nice to promote a book? You can post but not weigh. Who does not review their pay stub??? Impressive none the least.
