Oh jeez, I can't let my son see this, he made a sluice box and was messing around in the river near here that has nothing in it.

Me and rudy have the fever bro! We’ve been prospecting for quite some time.

Dude who i bought this property from metal detected a 1/4oz nugget. Picking up a highbank/dredge combo here soon.
I got two creeks on the property dangerously close to where 1000’s of ounces were pulled out. In fact, my creeks are tributaries to where the 1000’s were pulled out. Tailings piles everywhere on the way in to my house

For me the return on the work it requires isn't worth it...lol I have my little bottles of gold from up on the ridge and I'm good.

checked up on the sunflowers they are going major ham. they have overtaken the 3gal fabric pot diameter turning yellow still but i think that is because pots are too small at least that is what some have said. didn't wanna go with a 5gal because i didn't have enough soil at the time or room. i went to lowes the other day sister needed to buy blinds for their room but i checked out the seed section surprisingly found bunch of sunflowers XD and i told you guys they didn't sell any. i think it's seasonal tbh like whatever growing season it is they might put that type of plant seeds on the rack i honestly don't know but they had a LOT of damn flowers on the rack but usually i don't find shit besides vegetables

Looks nice in the sun today, worked in rain off and on yesterday after the 1st couple hours. My retired SS crew of 2 assisted, all the young guys that worked with me a couple yrs. ago have full time construction jobs now. A good thing.

In my experience, sunflowers are heavy feeders.

A little known sunflower fact, many varieties put out a chemical from their roots to kill other plants and stop germination so they don't have to compete. It's why I started growing them. I plant them along borders I don't want to deal with weeding or mowing. Beans and peas are supposed to grow around them and make a good companion cause the sunflower stalk acts as a trellis for the vines.

Roxy was chasing something last night by my patio so I went out and looked, two toads and a tree frog. I don't know if running the sprinklers yesterday attracted the toads or what. I have only seen 2 in my garden all the time we have lived here. I saved them and put them up under the rose bushes.

It's a good sign!
Amphibians are the 'canary in the coal mine' when it comes to the environment.
