It's a nostalgic look at a romantic lifestyle that is in fact a whole lot of hard work!<br />Happy Thanksgiving, Farmlady & your Prospector & to all your critters too.Roslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072175456185500751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-47764487522730865512011-11-22T21:03:42.061-08:002011-11-22T21:03:42.061-08:00Here's hoping you find a great big one some da...Here's hoping you find a great big one some day :)castlewonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17353734868646728115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-12847119747551630162011-11-22T18:58:54.496-08:002011-11-22T18:58:54.496-08:00I have seen a process similar when in Alaska.

I found this most interesting and you gave a lot of details I did not know. Wishing you the best of luck in this wild adventure. Gold is very high now. Trust you strike it rich.LVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01853494568526683537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-15946962304009050512011-11-22T18:25:12.388-08:002011-11-22T18:25:12.388-08:00just LOVED this post, thank you very much.

My husband and I tried to pan for gold one time and the only thing I got was a good sunburn, but it was fun. I have a friend who lives in Sierra City, California and she pans for gold and has quite a few nuggets. I enjoyed this post and the pictures <br />Hope you find lots more nuggets. Have a blessed evening and a great Thanksgiving day. Thanks for sharing this experience with us.Madeline's Albumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12521816495696902218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-50635588550127158872011-11-22T16:16:31.597-08:002011-11-22T16:16:31.597-08:00that was very intersting.

I does sound like fun and obviously is a joy to your hearts to be in nature.<br />You have been absent from my place for such a long while that I was getting concerned. I hope all is well dear Farmlady and may you and the Prospector have a wonderful Thanksgiving. jjjoannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112607125596693550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-80770639992383206952011-11-22T15:57:19.310-08:002011-11-22T15:57:19.310-08:00ok this was fascinating...including goat grins...v...ok this was fascinating...including goat grins...very cool on your find and the process you go through to get it...it sounds like a lot of work but you have fun with it so...and maybe you will hit the big nuggets soon enough...smiles.Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170972260275595837.post-10975922548868654092011-11-22T15:52:30.195-08:002011-11-22T15:52:30.195-08:00Connie, I remember when we bought our house in Sut...Connie, I remember when we bought our house in Sutter Creek, we had to sign a waiver that we did not own any gold or precious metals that were below a certain footage. i think it was nine feet. So, if we decided to dig deep to plant a redwood say, and struck it, we had to tell someone. And give them the gold. ummmmmmmmmm. If we didn't sign the waiver, we didn't get the house. <br />Never did sit right with me!Julie Whitmore Potteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283540996942265818noreply@blogger.com
