Here’s an amazing hunk of pyrite from California that my Aunt gave me many years ago. Quite a nice piece!

Irene & Columbus Day Gold!

So, Hurricane Irene sailed across the Atlantic recently and Christopher Columbus did the same thing quite a while ago. And this past weekend those two characters made for some great prospecting!

The weather was absolutely perfect and so was the gold. I spent Friday in one location at Twin River and did pretty well. Then on Saturday went up to Split Rock and started in on the clay layers there. WOW, good stuff! Before long Art & Bob joined me with their prospecting companions and we had a great day. The tourists were stopping by to take pictures of the “funny people in the river”. Here are a couple shots:

Wild AM Flood Gold

Here is what I have so far from our trip up to the Wild AM the week after the flood.

The old Paddock Gold Mine in Lyman NH

We took a hike up to the old Paddock Gold Mine on Gardner Mountain in Lyman, just up the road from Bath, NH. Wow, what a trip. The hike is about 1.2 miles on an old dirt road, easy walking. Here are some photos:
