Ok Ok OK  I know I've neglected this site for sometime but hell that does not mean that I have stopped my quest for the GOLD!  Ken, Beth, and I have been traveling around the country side checking out some of our old haunts just to be sure we did not miss anything.. Hey sometimes you just have to go back because it will bother you forever. We have been planning and researching our Heaven's Gate Claim for we would hate to be bothered by Ranger Rick and his Possee. Things are looking great but now we have to wait till July 1st to put the dredge in. (Hate that law)  On our last outing Ken put on his wet suit and braved the cold waters and was rewarded with about 7 small nuggets and one thumbnail size gold pancake. These where all stuck into the bedrock in about 4 feet of water. This my friends is where we will drop the dredge in!  So until then may all your dreams be golden.
