Eastbay Gold Prospecting & Treasure Hunting Club

Been using my rocker box and each time I go out it gets the GOLD!

Wayne and I meet his old friends from SoCal for a couple of days of prospecting on private property.

I show my technique for cleaning bedrock, use of some home made crevicing tools and, of course, the gold.

We are back in the dry stream beds digging material and taking it home to process

A sampling trip to a new spot yields a nice surprise

On the way back from a dig I find an interesting squirrel. I show the contents of my cracking and crevicing toolbag and also show the gold from the days prospecting

The bedrock at the dry diggins has been cleaned to the point you could eat off it. The gold from our last trip is still good and the total gold for five visits is truly impressive.

Moving bedrock and scratching for gold

We are back at our latest dry creek bed. After five visits the gold is outstanding

Wayne's discovery of a nugget triggers an early morning rush to find its mates

I do a test on a concentrator made by a friend. It works great and includes adapters for battery clips, power port attachment and even hook up to a solar panel
