Here are some photos of my last gold dredging trip to Maxwell Creek in the California Mother Load!

Gold Dredging trip in 2009

My Keene 4" Mini Dredge in Maxwell Creek.

I dredged this hole in 2 days. The water was VERY COLD!

There was a lot of great bedrock once I removed about 4 feet of overburden!

Here I am getting ready to see how much gold I found!

I did not get rich, but still found some nice gold!

Here is my gold mining partner, Dan Repke working in a hole near the creek. He is using a 3" land based dredge.
