I panned the last scoop of sand when I got to the bottom of the bucket and found a nice sized flake. Plus I found a tiny lump I had forgot about in another vial stuffed down in my field pack. It might not be gold, but it looks like it is.
I'll clean up the sluice later and get a few more flakes. The creek is winding down already, so I'll bring up the sluice until a good rain comes through again.
Still cutting a new track down to my creek. Makes it easier. Son in Law bringing up a nice sluice set up from down south soon. Creek level still rising and lowering due to intermittent heavy rains. Glad you're still finding flecks. Keep going and may you hit pay dirt.
