Where Did the Gold Go?

The Quesnel gold pan.Image via WikipediaI had a really good entry all typed out  Ready to go and pressed transfer and it just disappeared.

It was all about gold and how it mysteriously disappears. You know what I mean you find a really good Creek. You do a little sampling and it come out good. Now your gold pan only holds a couple of shovelful's so if you can get that much gold in two shovelful's you better go back  and get your 5 gallon pails and fill them up.

Up in the morning and down to the creek, out with a shovel and fill the pails.  You classify it to a quarter  of an inch.

Luke where did you come from? You snuck in there all by yourself did you? You say you're going to pan this batch out? Great, get  at it.

One half an hour later...  how's it going with you Luke? You're ready for the final cleanup! Let's see what you've got. Lotta black sand in there that's a good sign I think. Give her the final swirl when can let's see what happens.

Excellent! As I was shoveling I was thinking this was cannot be another one of those where did the gold go? Expeditions. I'm sure glad you came along, you probably bought lock with you. Let's get that gold into the bottle. We can probably do a couple more  buckets before we leave. The water will be high next week and we will be able comeback to this exact spot so let's get as much done as we can now.
