Gold in the pan and sluice box

Allan Bennett shares his gold take at Myrtle Creek, Oregon. Bennett has moved to Washington State but plans to keep prospecting and will share his adventures with THE GOLD ANGLE. ... Thanks Allan

Thief! Thief!

Sat. June 23, 2012 a small sluice box was taken near Tom's car. The box was taken when Tom returned to the river to get the rest of his gear. He'd left it near his car. Tom had just purchased the box. It would be good if the box were returned to him. Email Rob Perry if you can help with this situation. Email address is in right column. Thanks and watch your gold prospecting gear. It could happen to you too.

"Stuff Happens"

Great weather this weekend. Rob wanted to hit the river with his friends but "stuff happens." If you got to dunk your pan/sluice box tell us about it.

Finding Gold

Sorry, no sound. Not one of the guys wanted to say anything. Just too tired after a day at the river. Comment.
