  • WOW! Did not expect that much! Had a great day with my buddy REG gold panning on the Fraser river. Last year's floods obviously deposited more gold up high on the bar, as we found way more gold than expected t this spot. Check out our adventures in gold panning.

    This is a textbook example of how important it is to test layers and lines. As Dan shows here, sometimes the top inch is the only layer that is loaded with gold. Regardless, that is some fine Fraser River gold!

      I'm carefully surveying a meltwater channel from an ancient glacial moraine. The layering is AGONIZINGLY complicated. Mixed up glacial material, then the various layers from melting and rains creating different meanders, along with differences in hardness of the clay underneath. You find tremendous variations in the gravel-sand layers just inches apart.

So, now I need to find out how that channel twists and turns its way down the side of the little valley the meltwater made 10,000 years ago.

    I've been waiting to see the crazy amount of gold from the floods since they happened. Cannot wait to see the lower bar has.
    I would have loved to see something like a single handful of surface stuff panned out just to see how much is in it.
