Finally Weighed All the Gold I’ve Been Saving

This trip didn’t exactly go according to plan. Road construction sent me looking for a detour, the detour didn’t save me any time, and one of the places I planned to prospect turned out to be private property. Eventually I made my way to a creek, started prospecting, and found an old higher bench that looked worth testing. The gold wasn’t exactly what I was hoping for, but that wasn’t the end of this trip. Back at camp, it was finally time to clean up and weigh the gold I’ve been saving. I ran everything through the sluice, worked the concentrates down with the Blue Bowl, finished it in the pan, and finally got to see what all that gold added up to. Did I reach the number I was hoping for? You’ll have to watch to find out. This is life on the road for me—prospecting new country, living out of the van, chasing gold, and seeing where the next road takes me.
