  1. My first attempt at dredging was Resurrection Creek in Hope AK a long time ago. When I cleaned up at the end of the day I was confused by the silverish color of some flakes/pieces. I had heard about gold that had mercury but never seen it. It was very cool when I pulled out my loupe and saw those pieces had mercury. It was a liquid coating. Like it would just drip off.
    I learned that day to never, ever put a piece of gold in my mouth to wash it off.

  2. Beautiful location Jerry! Gold the old timers missed! I have been reading the Diaries of the prospectors, I guess you could say the original utubers documenting, there daily life! Dan Brent
