Took a trip up to the river on Jan. 30th and it was pretty frozen. Here is a video…

Winter Gold Blues

Took a trip up to the Wild AM yesterday and what a great day! No one around but lots of fine gold. The river is not frozen at all but the water is quite nippy… (bring those rubber gloves for sure)

Had a great time up on the WAM with Izzy on Veteran’s Day. Here are some shots:  

What a great time we all had up in Bath NH at Big Dig IV on July 12-16. I guess we had about 30+ prospectors show up over the 5 day event. Panning, sluicing, dredging, high-banking…we had it all! And some pretty awesome AU was found.  

The Wild AM is usually covered with about 3-4 feet of ice this time of the winter. But as I found last week, not the case this year. You have to search around for a good spot to break through thin ice to get at the dirt, but it’s certainly there if you search!   […]

There has been some interest in heading up the the Wild AM Jan 2nd. Heidi and I were up there last year and it was a really eye-opening day for sure. Here is the post from last winter: http://www.wheretofindgold.us/2011/01/02/winter-prospecting-in-new-england-hell-yea/ So if you are interested in going up give us a yell!

Some interesting tidbits from the river…mostly pyrite I guess.

Here is some nice gold from the clay layer up on the Wild AM…    

The take so far…more to come!
