The creek is flowing from the recent rain, so I went out and did a half of a 5 gallon bucket of sand through the sluice. 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.
