Howdy:  Whimzy Treasures has been the name of my wife's collectible business for thirty years. We have been to a few meetings at the Warbird Museum and just bought a Garrett AT Gold today. We have managed to collect quite the assortment of dirt from a couple of the local GPAA claims. No nuggets yet but lots of fine gold. Next purchase will be a high banker. So far all we have is a small alluvial sluice. I built it an expanded metal riffle and it works but it's obvious that we need a rock washer. We have kept all the material left over to run again. We have ten days planned this April based out of Folsom to try the Gold Country GPAA claims. Anybody got advice for the new guys? Phil & Susan
