Sunday August 8 at Golden Optimist #1

Postby golden optimist » Wed Aug 04, 2010 3:18 pm

I'm meeting Bob, bobber2, at my claim near Boulder, Co for a little dredging. If you are interested in joining us, PM me and I'll get you the details. You are welcome to bring your own equipment, check with me first, nn 6"-8" dredges, :D :D :D and keep any gold you find. We plan on being there from about 10:00am to 4:00pm.

Leonard-

I am at least two 20 meter skips east of your QTH. Going to have to miss this trip.
Alternate trip schedule is close to publication.

Looks like a great spot. What a generous offer also. From what I read here, you guys have a blast on your trips. Would like to stop by sometime and say hello. Maybe when you all are out on the Arkansas.

Have fun, John.

Sounds like a great trip. I might be able to make it up there, maybe with a friend. I'll send you a PM. Marc

Leonard, don't think I'll bring the dredge for Sunday...but would like to do some metal detecting if the gold is big enough to detect on your claim? :?:

We have found a 4 grain flake upstream 1/2 mile and a friend found a 2.5 gram nugget 10 years ago. For the most part it is small flakes but quite a bit bigger than the Arkansas. It hasn't been detected before that I know of so you might find something.
