How I spent my Thanksgiving night!

[charlotte49er]

I have 2 - 5 gallon buckets of fine sand/gold that need to be ran though my equipment when I move. I have another 2 - 5 gallon buckets of medium sand/gold that need to be run different equipment. Finally I have 2 -5 gallon buckets of coarse dirt to pea gravel.

Keep in mind that these buckets of gravel have been screened/sifted 3 times. Once for the big stuff (Everything over 1/4 inch. Then the fines (Everything under 20 holes per inch. (Think very fine screen). Then 10-20 holes per inch (What screen doors are made of.)

I got bored, so I decided to pan out one of the buckets of pea sized gravel in the sink in my kitchen.

This is what I got. The silver disk in the picture is a dime. My digital flash washed it out. I'll let it dry tonight and then weigh it in the morning.

(Keep in mind, most of the GOLD will be in the fine and medium sands.) I'm pretty happy with an hour and a half worth of work.

It's okay. I'm part Native American. My ancestors were on the shores when the Jamestown bunch landed saying, "There goes the neighborhood!"

Do you know what one Native American said to the other one when the Pilgrims landed?

"See, I told you we needed stricter immigrations laws!"

2.2 grams! :party:

About $89 worth, in about an hour and a half.

Hawk, I know what you mean, I'll shut up now.

Last white man joke!

3 Native Americans were watching the Pilgrims work. The second one turned to the first one and said, "I wonder what they call themselves?"

First one replied, "I walked up to one the other day. He was standing behind a bush, and I was like Sorry Dude, I didn't know you're a peein'!"

The 3rd Native American being a little hard of hearing, said. "What did he say?"

Native American #2 said, "You're a Peein'!"

3rd Native American replied, "You're a Peein'. Funny name to call yourself!"

I remember when I was in pre-school we had this thanksgiving lunch thing and we were indians. The other class were pilgrims.

I thought we were supposed to fight eachother. A boy I knew in the pilgrim class thought the same.

So instead of breaking bread we came there and started a rumble. I lost all my little behavior sticks and didn't get to go to recess that day:mad:
