Little Smoky Creek Dig Update
09/08/08
Here you go, above is a picture of the gold I have recovered from Little Smoky Creek so far. Yep, after 3 weekends digging, about $150 spent in gas driving back and forth, dozens of hours spent digging, sorting, sluicing, and panning, and the grinding away of my fingertips in the rocky soil, that little vial holds all I have found.
If filled, that vial would contain roughly one ounce of gold. As it sits, it now holds about 1/8th of an ounce.
At current gold prices, that's around $100 worth of gold.
Obviously, I would have been further ahead financially to not have spent the $150 in gas to go dig $100 in gold, but hey, I love it too much to worry a lot about that. Besides, I'm still learning this gold digging business and accumulating the equipment I need to do it better.
Besides, how much would I have made on a regular camping trip without the gold digging?
That's right, not a thing. As well, there is just something seriously cool about having gold -- real, raw gold --- sitting on a shelf in my house.
Here's another picture of the gold, laid out in a gold pan. It looks like there is more when it's all spread out like this. Plus, you can see the sizes of the different pieces.
We ended up going back up to Little Smoky yesterday and so I have a bit more gold to add to this amount here. Plus, I still have a couple of buckets of dirt I brought home that I have not run yet and quite a bit of clay to break up and sort through. Clay can be really good for finding gold at times, too.
We'll see. I'll update you again later. Plus, I going to see if I can find any gold on the Snake River closer to home.
More later...
