There was a nice little picker under the bottom lip of your pan that stuck in there for probably three pans and the first piece of bedrock that you cleaned off had a little rut in it that you missed, I guarantee you there was a picker hiding in there 😆
Howdy friend, I was just out there last weekend and it’s still pretty low.. I was able to run my low flow sluice in the river but the flow in the creeks are still disappointing. Should be back to normal soon though if my memory serves me right🤞
Yep, it's still not good for sluicing. I was in New London dredging for the first time there since it got too low in July. If it doesn't rain again soon, it'll be back to puddles instead of a trickle
It's just some PVC pipe from the hardware store that is capped on one end but has a hole in the cap for the handle to pass through. Attached to the handle is something that acts as a plunger. I have cut a NEW, out-of-the-box rubber toilet flapper down to size and used that for a long time until it came off. You have to be very precise when you cut it so that no air can pass by it and the wall of the tube. Right now, I happen to be using a small section of water pipe foam insulation that fits snuggly inside the suction tube and has a big enough diameter for the handle to go in.
I e done some reading on uwharrie and find it a little confuseing as to where you can and cant work. Also what techniques are legal. I e panned a little in there .
I agree, there are some gray areas. We've had some discussion in the past about the legality of using the hand dredge which is mechanically operated by arm 💪. I know of one comment that said a ranger told him he would receive a ticket if he didn't cease and desist while another prospector had a ranger watch him and didn't say anything about it. My impression is that it depends on the ranger you are dealing with. Just don't use a metal detector or anything powered by gas or electricity inside the National Forest. The boundaries can be a bit confusing when there is private property inside the general map boundaries but you can usually find triangular signs on trees that mark the line. Some of my friends have apps on their phones that can tell you by GPS if you are definitely inside the National Forest.

Sounds like I need glasses 🤓
Hard to beat the Uwharrie gym lol.
The more stuff you carry, the better the burn 🔥
Dig it pal, keep up the good work, pan looks broke in now lol.
Yeah man, love that pan!
Well in Lee
Arrr, thanks Matey! 😀
A productive day Lee! Do you prospect over the winter on nicer days?
I do and I enjoy the absence of snakes, bugs, and overgrowth this time of year. 🤣
Did you know using the audio off your shows for people with sight problems is almost as good as watching.
🤔🙋🏻♂️Thanks Bandit! 😁
Hey! You got new hip waders. How do you like them so far?
I love 'em. I like how stiff they are but still flexible enough to walk in. don't have to attach them to anything to keep them up 👍
How is the flow Lee? I havent been to Uwharrie in quite a while and i was in the river and couldnt run my rpe even in the river lol.
