reality check

Back to real business! We got 1.5grms on Saturday. Happy with that How did you guys go.
No pickers, but one nice flat peice wouldn't go up the snuffer bottle!

Well done MH great effort.. :Y:

Nothing wrong with that :Y:

Adds up fast if you can do it each outing. :goldpan:

Were you running your custom sluices?

Well done MH :Y:

Goody

Yeah, we where. Worked well. Newbi waz very impressed!

The real reality check is to hold the bottle vertical so you see the gold without magnification. Like me you might experience a touch of disappointment. Always seems less than it looks in the pan. The flakes always look bigger when you view them with excitement as they reveal themselves in the last wash of the pan. Still, 1.5 grams is a very good day for most. That covers the cost of lunch, a few beer and few litres of fuel.

My mate always holds his cod arms out for a catch and release photo, they always look bigger that way. Ha.
But a gram is always a gram, flour or flakes...... but it is better to be a good gram picker :Y:
