Crazy, I turn on PBS, and there's Nick! I wish he'd do an episode on the various gems found in Washington State.

Rob is such a cool and nice guy

I think there is an ancient riverbed underneath a basalt flow. It is so full of gold, that it boils up like grease, or settles in place under the basalt flow. There has to be lots of gold in washington.

Good to know.

Old video but thinking about heading over to the area with my girls and explore and pan a bit nearby.

[@jameseldridge4185]

Eureka!

I had a claim in Liberty, I couldn't maintain it while in the service. My cabin got torn down and all the items inside were stolen. I just chalk it up to the cost of war...

He's said "most people do it wrong". Thanks for teaching the correct way.

[@coachhannah2403]

That’s how I do it, though I admit to being more paranoid because I lack the time on the pan.

I believe the reason why Sasquatch is always blurry in pictures is because they are just a biomechanical ghillie suit for the small bighead aliens and are only visible during interdementional phase shift. I feel the presence of ol'Stinky Foot while out Prospecting and just know that he's after my gold. After all that's the only reason the overlords invented us in the first place 🤪
