Oh Yeah plenty of wood laid in here ! Now for a true story of " ice in the pan ", back in Ohio some years back cabin fever got me . So ol Chuck threw his backpack on and off to the creek I went , when I got there I could only get about 200 yards from the diggin's . Creek had been up and left a lot of driftwood and deep muck in places ,but I had my LaCross burlys on and away I went . After slipping and sliding down the 10 or 12 foot embankment I was standing on a new gravel bar dumped there by the flood . I hung my backpack on a tree limb sticking up out the sand and gravel,so I start my diggin ,classifyin the material down , til I had me good sized pan full , Walked to the creek ,put on water proof gauntlets (gloves) and proceeded to pan it down and sure enough ol Chuck had him color in the pan . Trouble was it was the middle of Febuary and had a nice skim coat of ice in the pan with my gold trapped in it ! I couldn't get it sucked up in my sucker bottle because it was frozen up too,,lol. So the old prospector saw he was whipped , grabbed my pack, shovel and other stuff and headed back to the truck . Remember that 12 foot bank the slid down ?? Well that little climb up took about 15 minutes of hard exertion ,lol, broke me of sucking eggs it did ,lol. Now every time I look at a little creek this time of year I think back to the "Ice in the pan" episode . Yep I be a fair weather prospector now .

Boys we've had about 5 snowstorms since I posted, I hope it won't be much longer . I hope some of you southern boys are out on the creek and doing good at this prospecting game .
