Eastbay Gold Prospecting & Treasure Hunting Club

I had a couple of hours free to go scratching alone today,,,,,boy, am I glad I went. I hit a pocket with my first pan!

Wayne and I find a new creek to scratch...with nice results

I return to work my rock and the gold keeps coming.

We are back at our latest dig spot. Wayne and Ray try new areas while I continue working under "my rock"

I spend a little time on the creek showing basic classifying, sluicing,and panning. I also give my reasoning for digging in a particular spot and indicate the types of materials that have a better chance of holding gold.

We are back to the new spot in search of the glint of gold in our pans.

Wayne and I return to our latest spot for more gold.

Wayne and I return to the site of yesterday's great gold

Wayne and I do some crevice and crack cleaning at a new creek

We hit the creek to test Ray's homemade large capacity classifier and then stop by his garage to see his standard size recirculating sluice project...Oh, and we got a little gold.

Ray, Wayne and I hit the creek to move some dirt.
