  What level of mining do you do at this spot your going to, just pans?  Do you use sluice boxes, high bankers?  One of these trips, I plan to make, if there was a need I have a small 1.5" waterpump and 125' of hose to use.

I might be wrong, but I think pumps are allowed only if they are human powered/ gravity fed, bummer.

We will be using sluices and pans. You can use pumps, but there are all kinds of requirements, so for the sake of simplicity, hand tools, nothing mechanized.

I cant make it, I just booked 2 jobswhich is GREAT so I have to work on a bunch of paintings that will go up on Oct 1st in Fairfax this weekend and I got a date tonight so Ill be thinking about the cold water from a feather bed
Im selling my prospecting equipment before I split, I have a new backpackable sluise, 2 pans, a classifier, shovels, and odds and ends so If anyone gets the fever up there and wants to get a good starter setup, let me know....cheep or trade.
