      I have a battery shop vac for crevicing... reminds me I've needed to install a drain so when I wet crevice I can just drain the extra water instead of opening it up constantly 🙃

      I just deleted your address reply (for your protection) but I screenshotted it. I’ll gather up some of my cons which I’ve been picking through to get my garnets. I’m out of town currently, but when I get back, I’ll send you a ziplock baggie worth of material to sift through. You’ll probably find enough micro garnets to get a 5 gram vile worth. That’s what I did and it was only a medium amount of cons that filled a ball jar. You just have to pick through it slowly with tweezers. Fun though, took me about a week to go through that much an hour or 2 a night :)

I've got that fever again though and I'm going to be picking up the 8x35 dream mat sluice sometime soon and am getting pretty excited. Might check a few places in your direction this summer. I have a friend that lives in Packwood and I know there's some decent places out that way and out on the Lewis River...I'm getting more interested in doing a bit of hiking in on some of the harder to get to tributaries throughout Western Washington.

It goes up and down for me as well, but I’m feeling hot right now and want to go everyday. I’m fortunate enough to have a great area on my property. I just need to get in there more and really hit those pockets. As for that sluice… the 8x35 is my go to and I absolutely love that thing. It’s done me so good and I’m happy I have it. David at Dream Mat is amazing to work with and he’s a solid dude. As for seeing you in the future, dude thats awesome. I below to NAPA which has a dozen or so claims near Randle (Packwood) area. I have a few videos on here about those areas. As for western Washington, that place might be one of the best. Me and another guy on here are trying to find the sweet spot, but definitely man, if you’re ever interested meeting up and trying new places, just ask man. I usually try and go a couple times a month and in the spring and summer, I’ll go more. Anyhow, just let me know man. We can bring people to our claims so they can check it out. Super appreciate the reply back and welcome to the channel. I’m glad you’re here. I may not find a lot of gold, but I’m really just starting and trying to turn my “weekend” hobby into a more lucrative venture. I’m really hoping to find a lot of gold this year. Thanks again!
