Sunday June 30

Another interesting day. Today we went to a old gold mine.  It's was closed down in late 50s and early 60s. They used dredges to dig the gold out and there was 8 of them.  Gosh if I could just remember everything that I heard,  I could give you lots of info.  
We did get to do some gold panning they gave us each a "poke" which was a small sack of gold bearing material and we panned it.  When we got down to only the gold,  they weighted it and told us what it was worth.  Mine was 8$ and Bucks was 26$ worth.   What can I say, he's just a better miner then I am.  


But he did give me his gold and and they put it in a pair of earrings.
